[R] RES: How to store a triangular matrix

[Filipe Leme Botelho]

Estefania, if you do something like

	your.matrix <- matrix(1, 50, 50)
	your.matrix[upper.tri(your.matrix)] <- NA

You will have NAs for the entire upper triangle. If you opt to do  

	your.matrix[upper.tri(your.matrix)] <- ""

The upper triangle will be empty but it will coerce data to be 'character' instead of 'numeric'. Hope it helps.

Assunto: [R] How to store a triangular matrix

Hello, I want to create a triangular matrix and only keep the lower triangle entries without having to allocate memory for the whole matrix, is there any way I can do something like A<-matrix(data, nrow=50)
 but for a triangular matrix?


Thanks
ERV
