David, I am not sure if it can be done in a vectorized form, but this should work
y <- NULL for(i in 1:ncol(x)) y <- c(y, cor(x[,i],apply(x[,-i],1,sum))) Cheers, Andy __________________________________ Andy Jaworski Engineering Systems Technology Center 3M Center, 518-1-01 St. Paul, MN 55144-1000 ----- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (651) 733-6092 Fax: (651) 736-3122 |---------+--------------------------------> | | "David Andel" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | ath.ethz.ch | | | | | | | | | 07/15/2003 11:51 | | | | |---------+--------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: [R] matrix manipulations | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hi cor(x,apply(x,1,sum)) gives me the correlations of each column with the sums of each row (correct me if I'm wrong, please). What I need are the correlations of each column with the sums of each row except the entry in the given column. It seems that for any one column i I get it by doing: cor(x[,i],apply(x[,-i],1,sum)) But I struggle to get it for all the columns. I was trying things like: for(i in 1:ncol(x)) cor(x[,i],apply(x[,-i],1,sum)) which doesn't generate any output at all, and > rbind(for(i in 1:ncol(x)) cor(x[,i],apply(x[,-i],1,sum))) [,1] [1,] 0.1880237 outputs just the result of the very last column. I know that it shouldn't be necessary to use for(), but I couldn't figure out a way how to do the task using e.g. apply(). How do you get the results of all columns?
