[R] need help to generate an intersection matrix

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Ana,
Here is one way:

pathway1<-LETTERS[1:5]
pathway2<-c("A","C","F")
pathway3<-c("B","D","E")
intersect.mat<-matrix(0,nrow=3,ncol=3)
rownames(intersect.mat)<-paste("pathway",1:3,sep="")
colnames(intersect.mat)<-paste("pathway",1:3,sep="")
for(row in 1:3) {
 for(col in 1:3)
  intersect.mat[row,col]<-
   sum(get(rownames(intersect.mat)[row])%in%
   get(colnames(intersect.mat)[col]))
}

Jim
