one way is the following:

A <- replicate(10, cor(matrix(rnorm(30), 10, 3)), simplify = FALSE)

triA <- sapply(A, function (m) m[upper.tri(m)])
rowMeans(triA, na.rm = TRUE)


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Dear all,

I have a list of correlation coefficient matrixes. Each matrix represents one 
date.
For example

A[[1]]

                 A             B             C
A             1              0.2          0.3
B             0.2          1              0.4
C             0.3          0.4          1

A[[2]]

                 A             B             C
A             1              0.5          0.6
B             0.5          1              0.7
C             0.6          0.7          1

....

A[[n]]

I would like to calculate the mean of correlation coefficient from the whole 
time series, i.e.

Average cor(A,B) = (A[[1]][2,1] + A[[2]] [2,1] + ... + A[[n]] [2,1])/n
Average cor(A,C) = (A[[1]][3,1] + A[[2]] [3,1] + ... + A[[n]] [3,1])/n
Average cor(B,C) = (A[[1]][3,2] + A[[2]] [3,2] + ... + A[[n]] [3,2])/n

Please note that some cells are NA; so I need to remove them when calculating 
average.

How could I get this efficiently? Thank you
