[datatable-help] Extracting specific values from a matrix

[Mike.Gahan]

This is one method that might work.

#Melt matrix and then convert to data.table object
yourmatrix <- melt(yourmatrix)[melt(upper.tri(yourmatrix))$value,]
names(yourmatrix) <- c("v1", "v2", "value")
yourmatrix <- data.table(yourmatrix)

#Setkeys and reference quickly
setkey(yourmatrix,v1,v2)
yourmatrix[J("B","C")]
