repeating a function across a data frame
...find that I can only give my DistanceCalc function a single vector (I can
tell it where to find x, but not where to find y, or vice versa). I've also
found the 'by' and the 'outer' functions, but I'm likewise failing at making
those work, e.g.
> distancetable<-outer(DataWithoutBlanks,DataWithoutBlanks,FUN=DistanceCalc)
Error in x - y : non-numeric argument to binary operator
I think this may be because my data has headers and the function is trying
to calculate the difference between the names of my samples, but I don't
know how to correct this.
Would really appreciate yo...
