Generate a vector-based representation of the upper triangle of a matrix

This function generates a vector from the upper triangle of a given symmetric matrix. You have the option to remove the diagonal with setting shift to 1.

Usage

rs_dense_to_upper_triangle(x, shift)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector. The vector of correlation coefficients that you want to use to go back to a dense matrix.

shift

Integer. If you want to apply a shift, i.e. included the diagonal values = 0; or excluded the diagonal values = 1.

Value

The dense R matrix.
