[R] Calculating subsets of row pairs using somthing faster than a for loop.

[Gabor Grothendieck]

I doubt its any faster than using a loop but probably less code is:

library(zoo)
z1 <- zoo(t(mat1)); z2 <- zoo(t(mat2))
idx <- 1:ncol(z1)
out <- rollapply(cbind(z1, z2), 11, by.column = FALSE,
    FUN = function(x) cor(x[,idx],x[,-idx]))

will give you a 10 x 16 multivariate zoo series such that:

out[1, ] is c(cor(t(mat1[,1:11]), t(mat2[,1:11])))
out[2, ] is c(cor(t(mat1[,2:12]), t(mat2[,2:12])))
etc.

and t(out) is a matrix in the orientation you asked for.

Try

library(zoo)
vignette("zoo")

for an intro to zoo.
