[R] Looking for a cleaner way to implement a setting certainindices of a matrix to 1 function

[jim holtman]

Is this what you want?

> n <- 6
> lagnum <- 2
> result <- NULL
> for (i in 1:lagnum)  result <- cbind(result, diag(n))
> result
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12]
[1,]    1    0    0    0    0    0    1    0    0     0     0     0
[2,]    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    1    0     0     0     0
