-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm generating a symmetric correlation matrix using a data matrix as input: mat <- cor(data.mat) My question is: Is there a more memory efficient way to store this data? For instance, since: all(mat == t(mat)) every value is duplicated, and I should be able to almost half the memory usage for large matrices. Any thoughts/comments?

See also the dist() function documentation. If you use indexing as described in ?dist it is straightforward to maintain and use a vector of the distances.
