Computing Correlations Within a Band of a Correlation Matrix: A Manual Loop Approach
Computing a Band of a Correlation Matrix The question at hand involves computing correlations between columns of a matrix only for some band of the correlations matrix. This seems like a straightforward task, but it poses an interesting challenge when dealing with large matrices. Background and Context In R, the cor function is used to compute the correlation between two vectors or matrices. When applied to a matrix, it returns a correlation matrix where each element represents the correlation between two columns of the original matrix.
