[R] Measure the frequencies of pairs in a matrix

Ok, this was misleading. And was not that important. My result matrix
should look like this:

  1    2   3   4   5   6   7 ...
1 p1 p2
2 p
3
4

p1 etc are the frequencies of the combinations

1 and 2 for instance do not appear in my example. So the values would be
zero. Actually, this part is not too important. I would be happy enough to
solve the challenge with the frequencies of the pairs.
Thanks Hermann
