Dear all,
I would like to create a k,n matrix which that will include
- k random elements with value 1
-all rest zeros
-one single "1" in each row
- each column will have maximum one "1"
so far I have a so stupid function that with nested while tries to fit k
numbers randomly in a row by row fashion, checking also if the c column rule is
violated. In that case there is also another loop that will try to find a new
solution.
That way it takes ages, as it is natural to complete a matrix of 300,512 as the
new ones conflict all the time.
I am trying to find an easy way to make this algorithm way simpler that will
help me reduce the time needed.
I was thinking then if R can help me by shuffling number from 1 to 300
randomly, so to avoid the first loop that does that goes row by row.. and then
find an easy way to check if the column rule is violated.
Do you think that you can spend some time help me?
Have a nice weekend
Regards
Alex
