Hi,

   Is there a way to  convert a matrix into a vector representing all
permutations of values and column/row headings with native R functions?
I did this with 2 nested for loops and it took about 25 minutes to run
on a  ~700x700 matrix.  I'm assuming there must be a smarter way to do
this with R's vector commands, but being new to R, I'm having trouble
making it work.
Thanks,

Hi Ian,

Here's one way you could do it (assuming ori.mat is the original matrix and ori.mat has labeled columns and rows):

a.matrix <- expand.grid(rownames(ori.mat),colnames(ori.mat))
final.answer <- cbind(a.matrix,ori.mat[seq_along(ori.mat)])

Cheers,
