as r_squared is inside for cycle it is recreated each time what you probably do not intend.

Without some data it hard to say why this error occurs. Normaly lm is called like

lm(y~x, some.data)

where x and y are names of columns in some.data object (usually data.frame). But I presume that sample_est[,...] are not numeric or there are only NA values in them.

This is easy. Your columns are of class factor. If you think it should be numeric, you has to find out why it was changed to factor by reading to R.

This error message is also self explaining ab_ret has only one dimension.

Final comments.

You should learn at least some basic facts about R objects and manipulation with them. There is "R intro" document in your installation.

You can inspect your objects by three simple functions

str(object)
dim(object)
head(object)

and you can provide data by e.g.

dput(yourdata[1:20, ])

And you should configure your mail client to send plain text. In this case your message was readable but it is not guaranteed if you use HTML formating.

Cheers
Petr

BTW

this construction

[((i-1)*311+1):(i*311)

can be replaced by

ind<-rep(1:n, each=311)
which will create vector of numbers from 1 to n each repeted 311 times and you can use this for selection.
