I am switching from Matlab to R, but I found that R is 200 times slower than
matlab.

Since I am newbie to R, I must be missing some important programming tips.

Please help me out on this.

Here is the function:
## make the full pair-wise permutation of a vector
## input_fc=c(1,2,3);
## output_fc=(
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
);

grw_permute = function(input_fc){

fc_vector = input_fc

index = 1

k = length(fc_vector)

fc_matrix = matrix(0,2,k^2)

for(i in 1:k){

for(j in 1:k){

fc_matrix[index]  =  fc_vector[i]

fc_matrix[index+1]  =  fc_vector[j]

index = index+2

}

}

return(fc_matrix)

}

For an input vector of size 300. It took R 2.17 seconds to run.

But the same code in matlab only needs 0.01 seconds to run.

Am I missing sth in R.. Is there a away to optimize.  ???

Thanks
