| combs {caMassClass} | R Documentation |
Finds all unordered combinations of k elements from vector
v.
combs(v,k)
v |
Any numeric vector |
k |
Number of elements to choose from vector v. Integer smaller
or equal than length of v. |
combs(v,k) (where v has length n) creates a matrix with
n!/((n-k)! k!) (n choose k) rows
and k columns containing all possible combinations of n elements
taken k at a time.

I discovered recently that R packages already have two functions with
similar capabilities:
combinations from gTools package and
nchoosek from vsn package.
Also similar to Matlab's nchoosek function (
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/nchoosek.html)
#example: combs(1:3,2) returns matrix with following rows (1 2), (1 3), (2 3) combs(1:3,2)
