: Hi guys. Another thing I cannot vectorize:
:
: I have an array "a", of size 5-by-2, for example, of 5 2D vectors. I
: also have a distance function that computes the distance between two
: vectors (usual Euclidean distance is a good example but I have other metrics
I
: want to use as well). I want a 5-by-5 array with the [i,j]th element being
: the distance from a[i,] to a[j,]
:
: To Wit:
:
: a <- matrix(1:10,5,2)
: array <- matrix(NA, 5, 5)
: dist <- function(x1,x2){sqrt(sum(x1-x2)^2)}
:
: #NONVECTORIZED BIT FOLLOWS
: for(i in 1:5) {
: for(j in 1:5) {
: array[i,j] <- dist(a[i,] , a[j,])
: }
: }
:
: (note that array[i,i]=0 for i=1:5 as expected).
:
: How to vectorize this?
