Hi, I tried with another example and was able to understand the error. Sorry, I didn't test the code to other situations. For example:
vec1<-c(8,7,10,15,1,3,6) #According to my first solution: res1<-apply(toeplitz(vec1),1,function(x) vec1[1]-x) res1 # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] #[1,] 0 1 -2 -7 7 5 2 #[2,] 1 0 1 -2 -7 7 5 #[3,] -2 1 0 1 -2 -7 7 #[4,] -7 -2 1 0 1 -2 -7 #[5,] 7 -7 -2 1 0 1 -2 #[6,] 5 7 -7 -2 1 0 1 #[7,] 2 5 7 -7 -2 1 0 #Rui's code: Table1<-matrix(vec1,ncol=1) t(outer(Table1[,1],Table1[,1],"-")) #or simply t(outer(vec1,vec1,"-")) # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] #[1,] 0 -1 2 7 -7 -5 -2 #[2,] 1 0 3 8 -6 -4 -1 #[3,] -2 -3 0 5 -9 -7 -4 #[4,] -7 -8 -5 0 -14 -12 -9 #[5,] 7 6 9 14 0 2 5 #[6,] 5 4 7 12 -2 0 3 #[7,] 2 1 4 9 -5 -3 0 #using expand.grid() matrix(apply(expand.grid(vec1,vec1),1,diff),ncol=7) # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] #[1,] 0 -1 2 7 -7 -5 -2 #[2,] 1 0 3 8 -6 -4 -1 #[3,] -2 -3 0 5 -9 -7 -4 #[4,] -7 -8 -5 0 -14 -12 -9 #[5,] 7 6 9 14 0 2 5 #[6,] 5 4 7 12 -2 0 3 #[7,] 2 1 4 9 -5 -3 0 identical(t(outer(vec1,vec1,"-")),matrix(apply(expand.grid(vec1,vec1),1,diff),ncol=7)) #[1] TRUE A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: cleberchaves <clebercha...@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2012 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [R] matrix of all difference between rows values Hi Arun, i don't know exactly the error of yours script. Maybe when i changed from "10-x" to "dat1[1,2]-x" (because my real matrix does not start with 10) the error has appeared, the same numbers repeat in all columns. Maybe when i change for your second script that error does not appear again. Nevertheless, thanks again, Arun!
