Building upon Jim's answer below (Thanks Jim, that helped a lot), I need to pickup where this thread left off. I'm using Vegan to calculate the Jaccard's Index and the Row.Names and column names are represented in my matrix as seen here.
[,3] [,5] [,6] [,9] [,11] [3,] 0 6 11 16 21 [5,] 2 0 12 17 22 [6,] 3 8 0 18 23 [9,] 4 9 14 0 24 [11,] 5 10 15 20 0 When I use the command; xy <- cbind(row=as.vector(row.names(x)), col=as.vector(colnames(x)), value=as.vector(x)) I get the list (the column value is the issue); row col value [1,] 3 1 0 [2,] 5 1 2 [3,] 6 1 3 [4,] 9 1 4 [5,] 11 1 5 [6,] 3 2 6 [7,] 5 2 0 [8,] 6 2 8 [9,] 9 2 9 [10,] 11 2 10 [11,] 3 3 11 [12,] 5 3 0 I would really like the col value to equal the actual name, not the column number. What am I missing? The analysis is very large, 6k x6k matrix so automating the process is a high priority.
