[R] error on my loop function

[EdBo]

> t
Hi

I have to matrices t and y below. I want correlation of columns (a,d) (b,e)
and (c,f). The correlation should be for the first 3 rows of  matrix t
against matrix y; and then the last 3 i.e a loop function.

I have a code I created below but its giving me an error, surprisingly the
the individual parts of the code give me the correct answers.

##########My code is

> runs=2 
> Corrs=matrix(0, nrow=2,3)
> 
> for (i in 1:2)
+ {
+  index_start = 3*(i-1)+1  #replace 100 with days in a quater
+  index_end = 3*i  #replace 100 with days in a quater
+  use_index = index_start:index_end
+  Corrs[i] =diag(cor(t[use_index,],y[use_index,]))
+ }
Warning messages:
1: In Corrs[i] = diag(cor(t[use_index, ], y[use_index, ])) :
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
2: In Corrs[i] = diag(cor(t[use_index, ], y[use_index, ])) :
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
> Corrs
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    0    0
[2,]    1    0    0

####Expected solution

     [,1] [,2]       [,3]
[1,]    1   -1 -0.9226129
[2,]    1   -1 -0.8934051

###individual parts of the loop are

> diag(cor(t[1:3,],y[1:3,]))
[1]  1.0000000 -1.0000000 -0.9226129

> diag(cor(t[4:6,],y[4:6,]))
[1]  1.0000000 -1.0000000 -0.8934051

####my matrices  
>t
    a  b  c
[1,] 1 -1  4
[2,] 2 -2  6
[3,] 3 -3  9
[4,] 4 -4 12
[5,] 5 -5  6
[6,] 6 -6  5
> y
      d  e f
[1,]  6 -5 7
[2,]  7 -4 4
[3,]  8 -3 3

Thank you in advance
