commat: Commutation matrix

Description

This function returns the (\(r c \times r c\)) commutation matrix \(\mathbf{P}\) such that \(\mathbf{P} \mbox{vec}(\mathbf{Y}) = \mbox{vec}(\mathbf{Y}'),\) where \(\mathbf{Y}\) is a (\(r \times c\)) matrix (Magnus and Neudecker, 2019).

Usage

commat(r, c)

Value

A sparse (\(r c \times r c\)) matrix, \(\mathbf{P}\).

Arguments

r

Number of rows of \(\mathbf{Y}\).

c

Number of columns of \(\mathbf{Y}\).
