Hello everyone, I have a list which I am trying to calculate a max value.I have the list as w<-c(v[[1]][1],...v[[100]][1]). The problem I am getting is that the function max is saying the list is an "invalid type (list) of argument".When I show the element v[[1]][1] it shows as $statistic,V,736.I am only wanting to use the number 736 from v[[1]][1] but am not sure how to access that number only?I believe if I just use the number then I should be able to calculate the max. Any help would be appreciated Paul [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
What's v? And w? And what exactly do you want to do? A small reproducible example would be very helpful. Without knowing what your data look like, it's hard to make helpful suggestions.

You do not do this. Is your problem like this? a <- list(20, 30) max(a) ##error max(unlist(a)) ##no error> > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > ______________________________________________ R-help at r-project.org > mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do > read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
