try this:

b <- rnorm(4)

ind <- unlist(lapply(seq_along(b), seq_len))
b
b[ind]


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Subject: [R] generate repeats of a vector's elements


Dear all,

I have got a question for generating repeats of a vector's elements.
Please don't hesitate to email me back and say that it is very easy
although I can't find a method to solve it.

If I have a n-vector b, whose elements are b[1], b[2], ..., b[n], how
can I generate such a vector

 b[1],   b[1], b[2],   b[1], b[2], b[3],   b[1], b[2], b[3], b[4],
......,   b[1], b[2], ..., b[n]

which contains n(n+1)/2 elements.

Thanks very much.

Regards
Chaofeng Kou
