Extracting off-diagonal slice of large matrix
问题 I've got a large nxn matrix and would like to take off-diagonal slices of varying sizes. For example: 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 I'd like an R function which, when given the matrix and "width of diagonal slice" would return an nxn matrix of just those values. So for the matrix above and, say, 3, I'd get: 1 x x x x x 1 2 x x x x 1 2 3 x x x x 2 3 4 x x x x 3 4 5 x x x x 4 5 6 At the moment I'm using (forgive me) a for loop which is incredibly slow:
