[R] (second round) creating a certain type of matrix

I cleaned up your function a bit but please double check
generate.matrix <- function(nr, runs=5){
h <- nr/2 ## half of nr
nc <- nr/10 + 1
mat <- matrix(0, nr, nc) ## initialize
mat[ ,1] <- c( rep(1, h), rnorm(h) ) ## 1st column
mat[ (h+1):(h+5), 2] <- rnorm(5) ## 2nd column
if( nc > 3 ){
for (i in 3:nc){ ## column 3 - end
start <- h + 5*(i-2) + 1
end <- start + runs - 1
mat[ start:end, i] <- rnorm( runs )
}
}
return(mat)
}
However you can simplify this greatly. If you ignore the first column
(which looks like some initialisation column in simulation process),
then you have a matrix with nr/2 rows and nr/10 columns with diagonal
blocks 5 runs filled with rnorm values. Here is what I propose :
gen.mat <- function(x, runs=5){
if( (x %% 2*runs)!=0 ) stop(x, " is not a multiple of ", 2*runs)
nr <- x/2
nc <- x/(2*runs)
mat <- matrix(0, nr, nc)
for (i in 1:nc) mat[ ((i-1)*runs + 1) : (i*runs), i ] <- rnorm(runs)
down <- cbind( rnorm(nr), mat )
top <- cbind( 1, matrix( 0, nr=nr, nc=nc ) )
out <- rbind( top, down )
return(out)
}
# Examples
gen.mat(50)
gen.mat(55) ## should generate an error
gen.mat(24, runs=6)
Does this function do what you want to ?
