[R] newbie: embeding seq in a list

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

You first example is a list of 5 items, each item is a number
The second example is a list with one item: a vector with 5 elements.

You'll need c() to make a vector of the item to get the same result.
all.equal(list(c(0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2)), list(seq(0.8, 1.2, by = 1.1)))

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Onderwerp: [R] newbie: embeding seq in a list

Suppose I want to create a structure containing the following values:
0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2

If I use

env <- list(0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2)

then R returns

> env
[[1]]
[1] 0.8

[[2]]
[1] 0.9

[[3]]
[1] 1

[[4]]
[1] 1.1

[[5]]
[1] 1.2


But, if I try to 'save some key-strokes', and use


env <- list(seq(0.8,1.2,by=0.1))

then R returns

> env
[[1]]
[1] 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2


I'd like the 'latter' to be equivalent to 'the former', but can't figure out how to achieve said aim.

Thanks in advance...
