Fixed size permutations
Try this: v <- 1:5 n <- 2 t(subset(do.call(expand.grid, replicate(n, v, FALSE))[n:1], Var1 != Var2))

I'm using functions to return a matrix of all permutations of a
specified size from a larger list for predictor selection.
For each predictor size I use a seperate function like this:
bag2 <- function(n) {
? ?rl <- c()

? ? ? ?for (i2 in seq(n)) {
? ? ? ? ? ?if (length(unique(c(i1,i2)))==1) {next}
? ? ? ? ? ?rl <- cbind(rl,matrix(c(i1,i2)))
? ? ? ?}
? ?}
? ?rl
}
bag3 <- function(n) {
? ?rl <- c()
? ?for (i1 in seq(n)) {
? ? ? ?for (i2 in seq(n)) {
? ? ? ? ? ?for (i3 in seq(n)) {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?if (length(unique(c(i1,i2,i3)))==1) {next}
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?rl <- cbind(rl,matrix(c(i1,i2,i3)))
? ? ? ? ? ?}
? ? ? ?}
? ?}
? ?rl
}
But I think it should be somehow possible in R to use one general
function for all sizes. Can someone help?
I don't exactly know how this kind of permutation is called, maybe this
would help to find a solution.
