Hi,
Can somebody tell me, which is the fastest way to make comparisons between all 
rows in a matrix (here A) and put the results to the new symmetric matrix? I 
have here used cosine distance as an example, but the comparison function can 
be any other, euclidean dist etc.

A=rbind(c(2,3),c(4,5),c(-1,2),c(5,6))

M=matrix(nrow=length(A[,1]),ncol=length(A[,1]))

for(i in 1:length(A[,1]))
{
        for(j in 1:length(A[,1]))
        {
                M[i,j]=cosine(A[i,],A[j,])
        }
}
