MatrixFactorization-class: Virtual Class "MatrixFactorization" of Matrix Factorizations

Description

MatrixFactorization is the virtual class of factorizations of \(m \times n\) matrices \(A\), having the general form $$P_{1} A P_{2} = A_{1} \cdots A_{p}$$ or (equivalently) $$A = P_{1}' A_{1} \cdots A_{p} P_{2}'$$ where \(P_{1}\) and \(P_{2}\) are permutation matrices. Factorizations requiring symmetric \(A\) have the constraint \(P_{2} = P_{1}'\), and factorizations without row or column pivoting have the constraints \(P_{1} = I_{m}\) and \(P_{2} = I_{n}\), where \(I_{m}\) and \(I_{n}\) are the \(m \times m\) and \(n \times n\) identity matrices.

CholeskyFactorization, BunchKaufmanFactorization, SchurFactorization, LU, and QR are the virtual subclasses of MatrixFactorization containing all Cholesky, Bunch-Kaufman, Schur, LU, and QR factorizations, respectively.

Slots

Dim

an integer vector of length 2 giving the dimensions of the factorized matrix.

Dimnames

a list of length 2 preserving the dimnames of the factorized matrix. Each element must be NULL or a character vector of length equal to the corresponding element of Dim.

Methods

determinant

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization", logarithm = "missing"): sets logarithm = TRUE and recalls the generic function.

dim

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization"): returns x@Dim.

dimnames

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization"): returns x@Dimnames.

dimnames<-

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization", value = "NULL"): returns x with x@Dimnames set to list(NULL, NULL).

dimnames<-

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization", value = "list"): returns x with x@Dimnames set to value.

length

signature(x = "MatrixFactorization"): returns prod(x@Dim).

show

signature(object = "MatrixFactorization"): prints the internal representation of the factorization using str.

solve

signature(a = "MatrixFactorization", b = .): see solve-methods.

unname

signature(obj = "MatrixFactorization"): returns obj with obj@Dimnames set to list(NULL, NULL).
