gchol-class: Class "gchol"

Description

The result of a generalized Cholesky decomposition A=LDL' where A is a symmetric matrix, L is lower triangular with 1s on the diagonal, and D is a diagonal matrix.

Objects from the Class

These objects are created by the gchol function.

Slots

.Data:

A numeric vector containing the results of the decompostion

Dim:

An integer vector of length 2, the dimension of the matrix

Dimnames:

A list of length 2 containing the dimnames. These default to the dimnames of the matrix A

rank:

The rank of the matrix

Methods

%*%

signature(x = "gchol", y = "matrix"): multiply the cholesky decomposition by a matrix. That is, if A=LDL' is the decomposition, then gchol(A) %*% B will return L D^.5 B.

%*%

signature(x = "matrix", y = "gchol"): multiply by a matrix on the left

[

signature(x = "gchol"): if a square portion from the upper left corner is selected, then the result will be a gchol object, otherwise an ordinary matrix is returned. The latter most often occurs when printing part of the matrix at the command line.

coerce

signature(from = "gchol", to = "matrix"): Use of the as.matrix function will return L

diag

signature(x = "gchol"): Use of the diag function will return D

dim

signature(x = "gchol"): returns the dimension of the matrix

dimnames

signature(x = "gchol"): returns the dimnames

show

signature(object = "gchol"): By default a triangular matrix is printed showing D on the diagonal and L off the diagonal

gchol

signature(x= "matrix"): create a generalized Cholesky decompostion of the matrix
