Matrix (version 1.5-1)

drop0: Drop "Explicit Zeroes" from a Sparse Matrix

Description

Returns a sparse matrix with no “explicit zeroes”, i.e., all zero or FALSE entries are dropped from the explicitly indexed matrix entries.

Usage

drop0(x, tol = 0, is.Csparse = NA)

Value

a Matrix like x but with no explicit zeros, i.e.,

!any(x@x == 0), always inheriting from

CsparseMatrix.

Arguments

x

a Matrix, typically sparse, i.e., inheriting from sparseMatrix.

tol

non-negative number to be used as tolerance for checking if an entry \(x_{i,j}\) should be considered to be zero.

is.Csparse

logical indicating prior knowledge about the “Csparseness” of x. This exists for possible speedup reasons only.

Examples

Run this code
m <- spMatrix(10,20, i= 1:8, j=2:9, x = c(0:2,3:-1))
m
drop0(m)

## A larger example:
t5 <- new("dtCMatrix", Dim = c(5L, 5L), uplo = "L",
          x = c(10, 1, 3, 10, 1, 10, 1, 10, 10),
	  i = c(0L,2L,4L, 1L, 3L,2L,4L, 3L, 4L),
	  p = c(0L, 3L, 5L, 7:9))
TT <- kronecker(t5, kronecker(kronecker(t5,t5), t5))
IT <- solve(TT)
I. <- TT %*% IT ;  nnzero(I.) # 697 ( = 625 + 72 )
I.0 <- drop0(zapsmall(I.))
## which actually can be more efficiently achieved by
I.. <- drop0(I., tol = 1e-15)
stopifnot(all(I.0 == Diagonal(625)),
          nnzero(I..) == 625)
