[R] sub-matrix block size

[Dennis Murphy]

Hi:

Maybe this can help get you started. Reading your data into a matrix m,

m <- structure(c(1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), .Dim = c(11L,
11L))

rowSums(m) + colSums(m) - 1
 [1]  2  2  1 -1  3  3  3  3  3  3 -1

The pair of 2's => a 2 x 2 block, 1 => a 1 x 1 matrix with value 1, -1
=> a 1 x 1 matrix with entry 0, a triplet of 3's => a 3 x 3 subblock,
etc. You should be able to figure out the rows and columns for each
submatrix from the indices of the vector above; the values provide an
indication of matrix size as well as position.

HTH,
Dennis
