[R] Two problems

[David A Richmond]

question 1:
Try this:
> list <- cbind(c(1,1,2,3),c(2,3,1,1))
> list
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    2
[2,]    1    3
[3,]    2    1
[4,]    3    1
> mat <- matrix(0,max(list),max(list))
> mat[list] <- 1
> mat
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    0    1    1
[2,]    1    0    0
[3,]    1    0    0

Now you just need to figure out how to get R to read an ascii file, and
convert the a's and b's to 1's and 2's etc. (I don't know how to do this
off the top of my head, but you might look at "read" and look for some
kind of recoding function)

question2:
I believe the dimension size limited only by available memory.
