[R] Pairwise Partitioning of a Vector

[Gundala Viswanath]

Hi,

How can I partitioned an example vector like this

> print(myvector)
 [1]   30.9   60.1   70.0   73.0   75.0   83.9   93.1   97.6   98.8  113.9

into the following pairwise partition:

PAIR1
part1  = 30.9
part2  = 60.1   70.0   73.0   75.0   83.9   93.1   97.6   98.8  113.9

PAIR2
part1 = 30.9   60.1
part2 =  70.0   73.0   75.0   83.9   93.1   97.6   98.8  113.9

....

PAIR9
part1 = 30.9   60.1   70.0   73.0   75.0   83.9   93.1   97.6   98.8
part2 = 113.9


I'm stuck with this kind of loop:

__BEGIN__

# gexp is a Vector

process_two_partition <- function(gexp) {
    sort.gexp <- sort(as.matrix(gexp))
    print(sort.gexp)

    for (posb in 1:ncol(gexp)) {
        for (pose in 1:ncol(gexp)) {

          sp_b <- pose+1
          sp_e <- ncol(gexp)

          # This two doesn't do what I want
          part1 <- sort.gexp[posb:pose]
          part2 <- sort.gexp[sp_b:sp_e]

         # we later want to process part1 and part2 separately

        }
    }

}

__END__
