read.matrix.csr: Read/Write Sparse Data

Description

reads and writes a file in sparse data format.

Usage

read.matrix.csr(file, fac = TRUE, ncol = NULL)
write.matrix.csr(x, file = "out.dat", y = NULL, fac = TRUE)

Value

If the data file includes no y variable, read.matrix.csr returns an object of class

matrix.csr, else a list with components:

x

object of class matrix.csr

y

vector of numeric values or factor levels, depending on fac.

Arguments

x

An object of class matrix.csr

y

A vector (either numeric or a factor)

file

The filename.

fac

If TRUE, the y-values (if any) are interpreted as factor levels.

ncol

Number of columns, detected automatically. Can be used to add empty columns (possibly not stored in the sparse format).

    if (!all(as.matrix(xs) == as.matrix(xs2)))
