[R] saving estimates from a for loop for later use

[Brian Quinif]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I do not know how to get it to work for
the actual matrix I want to create.  This is not reproducible, but
here is the form of the matrix I want:

#above I compute satt.yr.hrs and satt.full.load using Match()

Estimates <- matrix(c(satt.yr.hrs$est,
paste('(',satt.yr.hrs$se,')',sep=''), satt.full.load$est,
paste('(',satt.full.load$se,')',sep='')), nrow=4)

In my real program, I have 3 loops with i in 1:3, j in 1:3 and m in
1:6.  I want to be able to combine the various versions of Estimates
in many combinations to make tables.
