R help - Nov 2011 - Convert full matrix back to lower triangular matrix

Given a vector;> ab = seq(0.5,1, by=0.1)> ab[1] 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0
The euclidean distance between the vector elements is given by the lower
triangular matrix > dd1  dist(ab,"euclidean")> dd1    1   2   3
  4   52 0.1                3 0.2 0.1            4 0.3 0.2 0.1        5 0.4 0.3
0.2 0.1    6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1
Convert the lower triangular matrix to a full matrix> ddm =
as.matrix(dd1)> ddm    1   2   3   4   5   61 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.52 0.1
0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.43 0.2 0.1 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.34 0.3 0.2 0.1
 0.0 0.1 0.25 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 0.16 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0
I would be grateful if someone could provide me with a code to convert ddm to
the lower triangular matrix as before i.e. dd1
above.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.JN
NB: I apologize for the poor output of the previous email. Thanks for  your
understanding.

Hi:

(1) Here is why your e-mails look mangled on this list:
  [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
     R-help is a text-only list, so please change your mailer's
settings to send ASCII text rather than HTML.

(2) The print method you see displayed in dd1 is equivalent to the following:

ddm * lower.tri(ddm)

Note that lower.tri(ddm) produces a logical matrix; in R, when you
multiply a numeric object by a logical, the latter is converted to 0's
and 1's. In this case, the lower triangular elements are retained
while the other elements are coerced to 0.

HTH,
Dennis
