This function creates a column of all possible (n*n) pairwise differences from a pair of columns:
X | Y |
1 | 2 |
2 | 3 |
3 | 6 |
Differences (X, Y)

All possible (n * n) Xi...(i=1 to k) are compared with Yj...(j=1 to k).
These contrasts form intermediate steps in a number of nonparametric statistical methods.
