One generalisation:
program matfill
* NJC 1.0.0 26 March 2003 daffodils out in Durham
* fill in matrix missings from transpose
version 8
args m garbage
confirm matrix `m'
if "`garbage'" != "" error 198
if !matmissing(`m') {
di as err "no missings in `m'"
exit 498
}
if `= colsof(`m')' != `= rowsof(`m')' {
di as err "`m' not square"
exit 498
}
else local n = colsof(`m')
forval i = 1/`n' {
forval j = 1/`n' {
if `m'[`i',`j'] == . {
if `i' == `j' {
di as txt "can't replace on diagonal"
}
else matrix `m'[`i',`j'] = `m'[`j',`i']
}
}
}
end
