I covered how to do this when the result is a scalar<\/a> However, I did not cover how to do this if you are creating a vector each time through the loop.\r\n

\r\nI often see people try to store the results in a series of vectors with names like alpha1, alpha2, alpha3… This is not a good idea, it is hard to manipulate and refer to these variables. Better is to store each resultant vector as a row in a larger matrix.\r\n
