fixDependence {mgcv} | R Documentation |
Detect linear dependencies of one matrix on another
Description
Identifies columns of a matrix X2
which are linearly
dependent on columns of a matrix X1
. Primarily of use in setting up
identifiability constraints for nested GAMs.
Usage
fixDependence(X1,X2,tol=.Machine$double.eps^.5,rank.def=0,strict=FALSE)
Arguments
X1 |
A matrix. |
X2 |
A matrix, the columns of which may be partially linearly
dependent on the columns of |
tol |
The tolerance to use when assessing linear dependence. |
rank.def |
If the degree of rank deficiency in |
strict |
if |
Details
The algorithm uses a simple approach based on QR decomposition: see Wood (2017, section 5.6.3) for details.
Value
A vector of the columns of X2
which are linearly dependent on
columns of X1
(or which need to be deleted to acheive independence and full rank
if strict==FALSE
). NULL
if the two matrices are independent.
