p <- 6 Rmat <- diag(p) vals <- rnorm(p*(p-1)/2) Rmat[lower.tri(Rmat)] <- vals Rmat[upper.tri(Rmat)] <- t(Rmat)[upper.tri(Rmat)] appears to work. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
