I'm using functions to return a matrix of all permutations of a specified size from a larger list for predictor selection. For each predictor size I use a seperate function like this:
bag2 <- function(n) { rl <- c() for (i1 in seq(n)) { for (i2 in seq(n)) { if (length(unique(c(i1,i2)))==1) {next} rl <- cbind(rl,matrix(c(i1,i2))) } } rl } bag3 <- function(n) { rl <- c() for (i1 in seq(n)) { for (i2 in seq(n)) { for (i3 in seq(n)) { if (length(unique(c(i1,i2,i3)))==1) {next} rl <- cbind(rl,matrix(c(i1,i2,i3))) } } } rl } But I think it should be somehow possible in R to use one general function for all sizes. Can someone help? I don't exactly know how this kind of permutation is called, maybe this would help to find a solution.
