[R] Question on apply()

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

not much information about what can be wrong. As nobody knows your 
Xarray and SmoothList it is hard to guess. You even omitted to show 
what "does not work"
So here are few guesses.

predict usually expects comparable data
apply(Xarray, 2, NewValues,LIST=SmoothList)
