Try the following code and adapt it to fill the matrix: fun <- function (x, y) { a <- log(10)*y b <- log(15)*x extr <- a-b extr } x <- c(1,2,3) y <- c(4,5,6) combs <- expand.grid(x,y) for (i in 1:nrow(combs)) cat(fun(combs[i,1],combs[i,2]),"\n") Paul ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
