Jean, how would you modify your function to grab all the selected and not just the first?
Thank you so much!

Subject: Re: Grabbing Indexes of a certain standard deviation

I wrote a little function called first() to help with situations like
this.  It returns a 1 every time an element of a vector is different from
the previous element, and a 0 otherwise.

first <- function(x) {
    L <- length(x)
    c(1, 1-(x[-1]==x[-L]))
    }

sd <- 1
residuals <- c(1, 2.1, 3, 4, 3, 1, 0, -4, -1)
# logical, indicating if the residual exceeds 2 standard deviations
exceed <- abs(residuals) > (2*sd)
# indices of the first exceeding residual of a series
which(first(exceed) & exceed)
