Something like this might work for you: result <- matrix(0, nrow(x), k) > result [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [6,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [,13] [,14] [,15] [,16] [,17] [,18] [,19] [,20] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [6,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 result[cbind(as.vector(row(x)), as.vector(x))] <- 1 > result [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 [2,] 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 [3,] 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 [4,] 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 [6,] 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 [,13] [,14] [,15] [,16] [,17] [,18] [,19] [,20] [1,] 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 [3,] 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 [4,] 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 [5,] 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 [6,] 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 See ?row Regards, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
