JiHo, Thanks for the reply, however i dont think it will help. Okay here is what i will achieve once i get this into a list format. I have another file in the following format: 0.63275433157105 0.686061949818395 0.786426681675948 0.954103894997388 0.600840965518728 0.949194842483848 0.972337634302676 0.830398896243423 0.81455702194944 0.530893135233782 0.602987287449650 0.588278376264498 0.843511423328891 0.692051859106869 0.884920709999278 0.748849621042609 0.858809254132211 0.995953047415242 0.690017589717172 0.888722610659897
I need to compute correlation between these two sets. So i'm trying to convert my other file also in the above format so that i can use the function to compute correlation Nidhi ---- Original message ---- >Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:27:32 -0400 >From: JiHO <jo.li...@gmail.com> >Subject: Re: [R] Converting Matrix into List - problem (urgent) >To: Nidhi Kohli <nid...@umd.edu> >Cc: "R Help" <r-h...@stat.math.ethz.ch> > >On 2009-March-22 , at 13:06 , Nidhi Kohli wrote: > >> Thank you so much for the quick reply.
