Hi RUsers,

I am struggling to come up with an efficient vectorized way to convert
20Kx20K covariance matrix to a Euclidian distance matrix as a surrogate for
dissimilarity matrix. Hopefully I can apply multidimensional scaling for
mapping these 20K points (commercial products).

I understand that Distance(ij) = sigma(i) + sigma(j) - 2cov(ij). Without
replying on a slow loop, I appreciate if anyone can help me out with a
better idea - guess lapply?

Thank you very much.

Taka
