[R] error in R

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi Frederik,

There is no need for the double for loop:

b[,5] <- sin(runif(5,0,2*pi))

As to your question, check the values i and k take. In the first 
iteration of the second loop k == 0, and R does not support an index 
equal to 0. The problem is in 1:n-1, this gives 0- 4, in stead do 
1:(n-1). Better is to skip the double for loop altogether and vectorization.

cheers,
Paul
