[R] Matrix nesting (was Re: Obtaining summary of frequencies of value occurrences for a variable in a multivariate dataset.)
Success, thanks Patrick. Below is the final matrix construction code.
x=list()
x[length(myVariableNames)]<-NA
names(x)<-names(x.val)
for (i in myVariableNames){
residues=names(x.val[[i]])
residuesFrequencies=as.vector(x.val[[i]])
someList=list()
names(residuesFrequencies)=residues
someList<-list(frequency=residuesFrequencies)
x[i]<-someList
}
#The output
> x[16:18]
$PR12
I
10
$PR13
K R
8 2
$PR14
I V
2 8

I think you want your main matrix to be of mode
list. S Poetry talks about this some.
