ltrMatrix-class function

Triangular Dense Logical Matrices

The "ltrMatrix" class is the class of triangular, dense, logical matrices in nonpacked storage. The "ltpMatrix" class is the same except in packed storage.

class

Slots

• x:: Object of class "logical". The logical values that constitute the matrix, stored in column-major order.
• uplo:: Object of class "character". Must be either "U", for upper triangular, and "L", for lower triangular.
• diag:: Object of class "character". Must be either "U", for unit triangular (diagonal is all ones), or "N"; see triangularMatrix.
• Dim,Dimnames:: The dimension (a length-2 "integer") and corresponding names (or NULL), see the Matrix class.
• factors:: Object of class "list". A named list of factorizations that have been computed for the matrix.

Extends

Both extend classes "ldenseMatrix" and "triangularMatrix", directly; further, class "Matrix", "lMatrix" and others, indirectly. Use showClass("ltrMatrix"), e.g., for details.

Methods

Currently, mainly t() and coercion methods (for as(.); use, e.g., showMethods(class="ltrMatrix") for details.

Examples

showClass("ltrMatrix")

str(new("ltpMatrix"))
(lutr <- as(upper.tri(matrix(, 4, 4)), "ldenseMatrix"))
str(lutp <- pack(lutr)) # packed matrix: only 10 = 4*(4+1)/2 entries
!lutp # the logical negation (is *not* logical triangular !)
## but this one is:
stopifnot(all.equal(lutp, pack(!!lutp)))
