Hi I have 3 vectors, say g1, g2 and f, where g1 and g2 contain the row and column indices of a matrix, with corresponding elements in f. How can I create a matrix containing the values in f ? For example: g1 g2 f 3 4 10 2 1 30 4 4 50 How can then get a matrix that looks as follows: 0 0 0 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 50 I am still learning R. I think reshape will help, but it is not clear how that works here. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
