Sorry, wrong button. Below a hopefully more helpful solution...

Etienne,
I don't see the point in avoiding some 'special' packages. If you are
willing to change your mind in this regard, try one of the following
solutions that work for me:

library(combinat)
apply(mat, 2, function(x) unique(permn(x)))

# each object in the list contains the permutations from once column of
mat:
apply(mat, 2, function(x) do.call(rbind, unique(permn(x))))             

# all vectors you wanted in one matrix; note that they are in the rows,
so you might want to transpose this:
do.call(rbind, apply(mat, 2, function(x) do.call(rbind,
unique(permn(x)))))     

Not sure about the size of your original problem, though, it might take
a while. If you still want to avoid the (small!) package, you might
consider copying the code for permn from combinat to define the function
within your file. I guess it works (but didn't check) as it does not
seem to require any of the other functions of the package.

HTH, Michael

Subject: [R] permutations from vectors out of a matrix

Dear R-Users,
I'm relativley new to R and have the following problem. I need all permutations of the vectors created by the collumns of a matrix. I will give a small example: p=3 n=2^p-1 #number of obtainable vectors
    mat=matrix(0,p,p)
    for(i in 1:p)
     {
       mat[i:1,i]=1/i
     }

mat is now a quadratic matrix and n is the number of the vectors I try to get when I compute all permutations of the vectors built by the individual columns. It should work for all quadratic matrix and I want to avoid using some 'special' packages.
In the example I need the following vectors at the end:
(1,0,0); (0,1,0); (0,0,1); (0.5,0.5,0); (0.5,0,0.5); (0,0.5,0.5); (1/3,1/3,1/3).
I hope my intention becomes clear.

I'm looking foward to any ideas and clues that might help me.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Etienne

Hey Michael,

thanks a lot for your answer. I hope I can manage it now. The problem with the 'small' package is, that I have to solve the task without using any package as a 'black box'. Therefore I need to get the permutations on my own.

Best regards and thanks again

Etienne
