Yes. Although for the application where I encounter this (sandwich variance estimators), the proof that the two versions are the same is of independent interest, since it shows the relationship between the cluster jackknife, delta-betas, and the sandwich estimator.

(Thomas also already mentioned the computation in f):

f <- function(x) crossprod(crossprod(x[[3]], as.matrix(x[,1:2])))
mm <-by(dat, dat$id, f)
mm[[1]] + mm[[2]] + mm[[3]]

or the last line could be replaced with these two if you don't know
that there are necessarily three components:

result <- mm[[1]]
result[] <- do.call("mapply", c(sum, mm))

One thing that this bought out for me is that R does not have
a parallel to pmax for sum.  If one had psum of if "+" allowed
more than 2 arguments one could have done this instead of the
two lines involving result above:

 do.call("psum", mm)  # if psum analog to pmax were available
 do.call("+", mm)  # if + allowed > 2 arguments

Thomas' solution is better but thought this might be of interest
anyways since it can be written closer to mathematical notation.
That is, the required expression can be written in the
following equivalent way for a suitable matrix A:

X' diag(u) A' A diag(u) X

Um. n x n matrix? O(n^2) storage? O(n^3) execution time? Yes, it's fine
when n=20, or even 200,  but still...

       -thomas



where diag(u) is a diagonal matrix with u along the diagonal
as in the R diag function, spaces refer to matrix multiplication
and ' means transpose.

Thus we have:

A <- outer(unique(dat$id), dat$id, "==")
crossprod(A %*% diag(dat$u) %*% as.matrix(dat[1:2]))

Thank you for all .

One more question.How can I calculate these efficiently?

set.seed(100)
dat<-data.frame(x1=rnorm(20),x2=rnorm(20),u=rnorm(20),id=round(2*runif(20)))
# In this example,id's elements are  0,1,2.
y<-list()
for (i in 0:2){
X<-as.matrix(subset(dat,id==i,c("x1","x2")))
u<-as.matrix(subset(dat,id==i,c("u")))
y[[i+1]]<-t(X)%*%u%*%t(u)%*%X
}
y[[1]]+y[[2]]+y[[3]]


People have already told you about crossprod, so crossprod(crossprod(X,u))
would seem an obvious improvement over the matrix multiplications.

There is a better solution, though.

Xu<-dat[,c("x1","x2")]*dat[,"u"]
crossprod( rowsum(Xu, dat$id))

       -thomas


the above code is not elegant.And my second solution to this problem
is using by to get a list.

matlis<-by(dat, dat$id, function(x){
a<-as.matrix(x[,c("x1","x2")])
b<-as.matrix(x[, "u"])
t(a) %*% b  %*% t(b) %*% a
})

S <- matrix(unlist(matlis), 4, length(matlis))
S1 <- matrix(rowSums(S), 2, 2)

The code works ,but I want to ask if there is any other more better
ways to do it? It seems that this kind of computation is quite common.





2006/2/28, Gabor Grothendieck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Try:

crossprod(x)

or

t(x) %*% x

This is the code:

x<-matrix(rnorm(20),5)
y<-list()
for (i in seq(nrow(x))) y[[i]]<-t(x[i,,drop=F])%*%x[i,,drop=F]
y[[1]]+y[[2]]+y[[3]]+y[[4]]+y[[5]]

How can I do it without using for loops?
Thank you in advance!
