Rina,
Alternatively, you could avoid the entire double loop by using
matrix operations. I show this and then reproduce it using the first
section of your code:
#how to use matrices to avoid looping
n_trait <- 5
X <- matrix( rnorm(100*n_trait),ncol= n_trait) #create a data matrix
G_o <- t(X) %*% X #create the G_o matrix as a matrix of cross products
G_o #show the cross products
dG <- diag(1/sqrt(diag(G_o))) #divide by the sqrt of the diagonal
rG <- dG %*% G_o %*% dG
rG #show the result
#######################
#abbreviated Rina code using loops
for(i in 1:n_trait){
for( j in 1:n_trait){
rG[i,j] <- G_o[i,j]/(sqrt(G_o[i,i]%*%G_o[j,j])) }}
rG #compare to above
