atomicVector-class

The <code><a href="/link/class?package=Matrix&version=1.4-1" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::class">class</a></code> <code>"atomicVector"</code> is a
 virtual class containing all atomic vector classes of base R,
 as also implicitly defined via <code><a href="/link/is.atomic?package=Matrix&version=1.4-1" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::is.atomic">is.atomic</a></code>.

classes

A rich hierarchy of matrix classes, including triangular,
symmetric, and diagonal matrices, both dense and sparse and with
pattern, logical and numeric entries.   Numerous methods for and
operations on these matrices, using 'LAPACK' and 'SuiteSparse' libraries.

atomicVector-class function

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Objects from the Class

In the Matrix package, the "atomicVector" is used in signatures
 where typically &#8220;old-style&#8221; "matrix" objects can be used and
 can be substituted by simple vectors.

Methods

The atomic classes
 <code>"logical"</code>, <code>"integer"</code>, <code>"double"</code>, <code>"numeric"</code>,
 <code>"complex"</code>, <code>"raw"</code> and <code>"character"</code> are extended
 directly. Note that <code>"numeric"</code> already contains <code>"integer"</code>
 and <code>"double"</code>, but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of
 <code>"atomicVector"</code>.
