f_distance2vector: Conversion of the lower triangular matrix of a distance...

In sincell: R package for the statistical assessment of cell state hierarchies from single-cell RNA-seq data

Description

Auxiliary function to convert of the lower triangular matrix of a distance matrix into an array

Usage

f_distance2vector(distance)

Arguments

distance

A distance matrix or a symmetric matrix

Value

Array resulting from the concatenation of the rows of the lower triangular matrix of the input symetric matrix. Array length is n*(n-1)/2, where n is the number of rows of the symetric matrix.

Examples

## Generate some data
Data <- matrix(rnorm(300),ncol=10,nrow=30)

## Calculate distance matrix and transform its lower triangular matrix into a one 
## dimensional array
d <- f_distance2vector(as.matrix(dist(Data)))
