[R] convert a vector to a symmetric matrix with all 0 on the diagonal

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

You should address your questions to R-Help, the odds of getting more 
and better answers are greater.

As for your question, the trick is to use function ?lower.tri. (There's 
also an upper.tri) Something like the following.


x <- 1:6

m <- matrix(0, nrow = 4, ncol = 4)
m[lower.tri(m)] <- x
res <- m + t(m)
res

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
