Virtual Class "packedMatrix" of Packed Dense Matrices

Class "packedMatrix" is the virtual class of dense symmetric or triangular matrices in "packed" format, storing only the choose(n+1,2) == n*(n+1)/2 elements of the upper or lower triangle of an n-by-n matrix. It is used to define common methods for efficient subsetting, transposing, etc. of its proper subclasses: currently "[dln]spMatrix" (packed symmetric), "[dln]tpMatrix" (packed triangular), and subclasses of these, such as "dppMatrix".

Slots

uplo:

"character"; either "U", for upper triangular, and "L", for lower.

Dim, Dimnames:

as all Matrix objects.

Extends

Class "denseMatrix", directly. Class "Matrix", by class "denseMatrix", distance 2.

Methods

pack

signature(x = "packedMatrix"): ...

unpack

signature(x = "packedMatrix"): ...

isSymmetric

signature(object = "packedMatrix"): ...

isTriangular

signature(object = "packedMatrix"): ...

isDiagonal

signature(object = "packedMatrix"): ...

t

signature(x = "packedMatrix"): ...

diag

signature(x = "packedMatrix"): ...

diag<-

signature(x = "packedMatrix"): ...
