Hello,

To my great surprise, on my system, Windows 7, R 15.0, 32 bits, an R version is faster!

I was also surprised, Windows 7, R 2.15.0, 64-bit

Rdiag <- function(n){
    m <- matrix(0, nrow=n, ncol=n)
    m[matrix(rep(seq_len(n), 2), ncol=2)] <- 1
    m
}

Rdiag(4)

n <- 5e3
t1 <- system.time(d1 <- diag(n))
t2 <- system.time(d2 <- Rdiag(n))
all.equal(d1, d2)
rbind(diag=t1, Rdiag=t2, ratio=t1/t2)


Anyway, why don't you create it once, save a copy and use it many times?

Hope this helps,

Hello, I am trying to build a large size identity matrix using diag(). The
size is around 23000 and I've tried diag(23000), that took a long time.
Since I have to use this operation several times in my program, the running
time is too long to be tolerable. Are there any alternative for diag(N)?
Thanks

Cheers,
yct
