[R] Generate the next column from previous column

[Steven Wolf]

Basically you need to set up a recursive relationship.  I'd do this with a
2D array:

G = numeric(6*N)
dim(G) = c(6,N)
G[,1] = c(1,rep(0,5))
for (i in 2:N){G[,i]=G[,i-1]+5* c(1,rep(0,5))}

HTH,

Subject: [R] Generate the next column from previous column

Hi, I'm quite new to R and are stuck with the following problem.

Lets say I have a column consisting of a 1 and the rest zero's, called G0.
G0 <- c(1,rep(0,5))

Now what I would like to do is to generate G1 from G0, and G2 from G1 etc...
Just for the simplicity, let's say I need the first entry of the column to
be increased by 5 each time.

How could I do this?
Thanks already!

Kind regards,

Michael
