rTensor (version 1.4.8)

unfold-methods: Tensor Unfolding

Description

Unfolds the tensor into a matrix, with the modes in rs onto the rows and modes in cs onto the columns. Note that c(rs,cs) must have the same elements (order doesn't matter) as x@modes. Within the rows and columns, the order of the unfolding is determined by the order of the modes. This convention is consistent with Kolda and Bader (2009).

Usage

unfold(tnsr, row_idx, col_idx)
# S4 method for Tensor
unfold(tnsr, row_idx = NULL, col_idx = NULL)

Arguments

tnsr

the Tensor instance

row_idx

the indices of the modes to map onto the row space

col_idx

the indices of the modes to map onto the column space

Value

matrix with prod(row_idx) rows and prod(col_idx) columns

Details

For Row Space Unfolding or m-mode Unfolding, see rs_unfold-methods. For Column Space Unfolding or matvec, see cs_unfold-methods.

vec-methods returns the vectorization of the tensor.

unfold(tnsr,row_idx=NULL,col_idx=NULL)
