Hi
I am not sure about using loops but something like
colSums(combn(DATA[,1],2))
gives you sums of all pairs and
colSums(combn(DATA[,1],3))
sums of all triplets
etc.
if you want to know which ones they are just use combn on names.
e.g.
> y
X1.5
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
e 5
> colSums(combn(y[,1],2))
[1] 3 4 5 6 5 6 7 7 8 9
> combn(row.names(y),2)
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,] "a" "a" "a" "a" "b" "b" "b" "c" "c" "d"
[2,] "b" "c" "d" "e" "c" "d" "e" "d" "e" "e"
