Hi everyone

I am trying to create a matrix inside a matrix using a for loop.
This is what I did:

Matrix inside a matrix.sm (12.42 KiB) downloaded 677 time(s).


This works but my real data is much larger than the one in this example and it takes like 10 minutes to run. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

Thanks.

Your example runs in 0.5 s [Steam Engine Win 7]

Two things. One move the assignment of p[k to under the k for loop. You're reassigning to p too often. Also, for large datasets, it helps to initialize the size of the matrix rather than just increasing the size over each iteration. See attaached.

Hola Pedro. Please check this version and tell us how long it takes with your data.

On my Win 7 ... takes 4 times my original SS 6179 doctored version.
Has it dependence with Smath version ?

Timing is about twice my doctored version.

1. Wait and see your next Monster Big.
2. 10 min on your machine might take 1 hr on mine, but willing.
3. Maybe not not so big and interpolate ?
See you sometimes, Cheers ... Jean
