Full symmetric matrix


Description

Convert a column order distance matrix to a full symmetric matrix.

Usage

full(v)

Arguments

v

lower-triangular column order distance matrix.

Details

Converts a column order lower-triangular distance matrix as written by R functions into a symmetric matrix. Note that lower() used on a 1x1 matrix will return the single element, which may not be the correct behavior in all cases, while full() used on a single element will return a 2x2 matrix.

Value

full symmetric matrix.
