Matrix (version 1.5-4)

TsparseMatrix-class: Class "TsparseMatrix" of Sparse Matrices in Triplet Form

Description

The "TsparseMatrix" class is the virtual class of all sparse matrices coded in triplet form. Since it is a virtual class, no objects may be created from it. See showClass("TsparseMatrix") for its subclasses.

Arguments

Slots

Dim, Dimnames:

from the "Matrix" class,

i:

Object of class "integer" - the row indices of non-zero entries in 0-base, i.e., must be in 0:(nrow(.)-1).

j:

Object of class "integer" - the column indices of non-zero entries. Must be the same length as slot i and 0-based as well, i.e., in 0:(ncol(.)-1). For numeric Tsparse matrices, (i,j) pairs can occur more than once, see dgTMatrix.

Extends

Class "sparseMatrix", directly. Class "Matrix", by class "sparseMatrix".

Methods

Extraction ("[") methods, see [-methods.

Examples

Run this code
showClass("TsparseMatrix")
## or just the subclasses' names
names(getClass("TsparseMatrix")@subclasses)

T3 <- spMatrix(3,4, i=c(1,3:1), j=c(2,4:2), x=1:4)
T3 # only 3 non-zero entries, 5 = 1+4 !
stopifnot(nnzero(T3) == 3)
