my programe is below:
a=c(1,2,1,1,1); b=c(1,2,3,4,1); c=c(3,4,3,3,3); d=c(1,2,3,5,1);
e=c(1,5,3,5,1) 
data.f=data.frame(a,b,c,d,e)
origin.data<-data.f
cor.matrix<-cor(origin.data)
origin.cor<-cor.matrix
m<-0
for(i in 1:(cor.matrix[1]-1))
{
  for(j in (i+1):(cor.matrix[2]))
   {
      if (cor.matrix[i,j]>=0.95)
      {
          data.f<-data.f[,-i];
           i<-i+1
      } 
   }
}
origin.cor
data.f

the result seems to be not righ.
 origin.cor
           a          b          c          d         e
a  1.0000000 -0.0857493  1.0000000 -0.1336306 0.5590170
b -0.0857493  1.0000000 -0.0857493  0.9854509 0.7669650
c  1.0000000 -0.0857493  1.0000000 -0.1336306 0.5590170
d -0.1336306  0.9854509 -0.1336306  1.0000000 0.7470179
e  0.5590170  0.7669650  0.5590170  0.7470179 1.0000000
> data.f
  b c d e
1 1 3 1 1
2 2 4 2 5
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 3 5 5
5 1 3 1 1

either colume b or colume d shold be deleted ,for they hight
correlation(0.9854509), but the result not,why?
