is there a smart way of determining the number of pairwise present data
in a data matrix with missings (maybe as a by-product of some
statistical function?)

so far, i used several loops like:

for (column1 in 1:99) {
  for (column2 in 2:100) {
    for (row in 1:500) {
      if (!is.na(matrix[row,column1]) & !is.na(matrix[row,column2])) {
        pairs[col1,col2] <- pairs[col1,col2]+1
      }
    }
  }
}

but this seems neither the most elegant nor an utterly fast solution.

thanks for suggestions.

library(Hmisc) n <- naclus(mydataframe) plot(n) # show pairwise missingness in a dendogram naplot(n) # show more details in multiple plots
