Re: [R] extracting diagonal from dist()

Stephen, I think this is what you want: > diag(as.matrix(d)[-1, ]) the '-1' above means that you ignore row one in the matrix. Given that it's a square matrix, I suppose you could also also do: > diag(as.matrix(d)[-1,-19]) the '-19' above mean you ignore the 19th column of hte matrix. Both give
