[R] loop over matrix: subscript out of bounds

[Maija Sirkjärvi]

Thanks for help!

However, changing the index from i to j for the column vector changes the
output. I would like the matrix to be the following:

-1 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 -1 1 0 0 0 0
0 0 -1 1 0 0 0
.....
etc.

How to code it?

Best,
Maija


>> myMatrix <- matrix(0,5,12)
>> for(i in 1:nrow(myMatrix)) {
>>    for(i in 1:ncol(myMatrix)) {
>>      myMatrix[i,i] = -1
>>      myMatrix[i,i+1] = 1
>> }}
>> print(myMatrix)
