selectzerorows_byname: Select zero rows

Description

Matrices with rows containing all zeroes are not invertible (singular). To diagnose this problem, it is useful to find the zero rows of a singular matrix. This function selects (extracts) only the zero rows of a matrix.

Usage

selectzerorows_byname(a, tol = 1e-06)

Value

a with only zero rows selected.

Arguments

a

A matrix or a list of matrices.

tol

The allowable deviation from 0 for any element.

Details

A row is said to be a zero row if all elements are within tol of zero.

Examples

m <- matrix(c(0, 0, 1,
              0, 0, 0), 
            dimnames = list(c("r1", "r2"), c("c1", "c2", "c3")), 
            nrow = 2, ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE) %>% 
  setrowtype("rows") %>% setcoltype("cols")
m
selectzerorows_byname(m)
