I finally used the function combn([0 1],3) that I found at the following link http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId =7147&objectType=FILE written by Jos van der Geest in Matlab which generated the above. How can I do this is R? I have looked at permn and combn in the combinat library and permutations and combinations in the gtools library and I am still confused as to how to get it to work. Any suggestions will be truly appreciated.
