[R] small problem in coding

[Nick Sabbe]

Hello Mike.

I'm not clear on why you would want to "state your g parameter" (In fact, I
don't even know for sure what you mean by that) with
> lamda<-c(g=0.2)

If you want a variable (vector) g containing 0.2, why don't you simply do:
> g<-0.2
If you need that lamda thing for some reason later on, you can always do:
> lamda<-c(g=g)
Afterwards to get the same effect.

If you have some reason not to do this:
With your statement, you create a vector lamda, with one item in it, and
that first and only item is named "g".
So from your statement, you can access g by: 
lamda["g"]
as in:
> Q<-exp(lamda["g"])

It looks like you've got a misunderstanding of how R variables work, but
maybe I just misunderstood your question...

HTH,


Nick Sabbe

I must be missing something.  
 
I first state my g parameter with:  
 
> lamda<-c(g=0.2)

However, when I do the next step R is telling me "object g not found"  Here
is my next step:  
 
> Q<-exp(g)
 
 
???  
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
