Aug 26, 2020 at 18:44 comment added Steven Sagona @CarlWoll, it is helpful to see someone elses attempt with it. But I notice that his methods seem pretty substantially different than mine, and I wonder why a method like this (where you mapthread a list to the Part function) doesn't work..
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:42 comment added Steven Sagona @yarchik, I want to extract the upper triangular part of a square matrix into a flat list. (Ideally, I would like this list to be organized such that elements are picked from the top-left first). I am particularly interested in what exactly is the issue in the logic with my attempt.
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:29 comment added Carl Woll Does this answer your question? Take upper triangular part of matrix
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:23 comment added Steven Sagona @CarlWoll, thanks but unfortunately that shuffles around the order of the elements - which is not ideal in my situation.
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:18 comment added Carl Woll Diagonal returns the diagonal elements.
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:17 comment added Steven Sagona @CarlWoll, I'm primarily interested in improving so my preference would be to learn how to do this using the basic syntax - but in the future, (when I'm confident but lazy) I would be interested in using that undocumented internal function. Do you happen to know if there's another command that grabs the diagonal elements too?
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:11 comment added Steven Sagona @yarchik, the upper triangle (with or without diagonals) made to be a vector. So in this case, {2, 3, 6} or {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9}
Aug 26, 2020 at 18:07 comment added yarchik What is the desired output?
Aug 26, 2020 at 17:43 comment added Carl Woll You could try using an undocumented internal function: Statistics`Library`UpperTriangularMatrixToVector[f]
