Try:
for(t in 4) { # Did you mean ``1:4''?
nm <- paste("Trt",sep="")
assign(nm,rmultinom(10,size=5,prob=probTrt[t,]))
print(rowMeans(get(nm)))
}
Notes:
(1) You were missing the ``get(t)''; I introduced ``nm'' to
save
some typing.
(2) You need the print() inside the for loop, or you won't see any
results.
(3) The letter ``t'' is a bad name for an index, since it is the
name of the
transpose function. No *real* harm, but a dubious practice.
(4) You'd probably be better off using a list, rather than constructing
a sequence of names. As in
Trt <- list()
for(i in 1:4) {
Trt[[i]] <- rmultinom(10,size=5,prob=probTrt[t,])
print(rowMeans(Trt[[i]])
}
