[R] remove loop which compares row i to row i-1

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi,

Great chance to practice debugging.  Rather than trying one
complicated statement, break it into pieces.  The basic structure is:

results <- ifelse(condition, value if true, value if false)

Each argument needs to be a vector of the same length.  In your case,
condition itself consists of two vectors:

v1 >= v2

so try creating all four vectors and making sure they are what you
want and are the appropriate length.  Then:

results <- ifelse(v1 >= v2, VIT, VIF)

will work.

Cheers,

Josh
