Virtual class of composite matrices; i.e., matrices that can be factorized, typically as a product of simpler matrices.
A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.
factors:Object of class "list" - a list of
factorizations of the matrix. Note that this is typically empty,
i.e., list(), initially and is updated
automagically whenever a matrix factorization is computed.
Dim, Dimnames:inherited from the
Matrix class, see there.
Class "Matrix", directly.
signature(x = "compMatrix", value = "list"): set
the dimnames to a list of length 2, see
dimnames<-. The factors slot is currently reset to
empty, as the factorization dimnames would have to be adapted, too.
