Virtual Class "packedMatrix" of Packed Dense Matrices

Description

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", "pCholesky", and "pBunchKaufman".

Slots

uplo:

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

Dim, Dimnames:

as all Matrix objects.

Extends
