generating symmetric matrices
Greetings,
I have a seemingly simple task which I have not been able to solve today. I want to construct a symmetric matrix of arbtriray size w/o using loops. The following I thought would do it:
p <- 6
Rmat <- diag(p)
dat.cor <- rnorm(p*(p-1)/2)
Rmat[outer(1:p, 1:p, "<")] <- Rmat[outer(1:p, 1:p, ">")] <- dat.cor
However, the problem is that the matrix is filled by column and so the resulti...

Constructing correlation matrices
Greetings,
I have a seemingly simple task which I have not been able to solve today and I checked all of the help archives on this and have been unable to find anything useful. I want to construct a symmetric matrix of arbtriray size w/o using loops. The following I thought would do it:

Rmat <- diag(p)
dat.cor <- rnorm(p*(p-1)/2)
