bdiag {Matrix} | R Documentation |
Build a block diagonal matrix given several building block matrices.
bdiag(...)
... |
individual matrices or a list of matrices. |
A sparse matrix inheriting from class CsparseMatrix
obtained by combining the arguments into a block diagonal matrix.
Martin Maechler, built on a version posted by Berton Gunter to R-help; earlier versions have been posted by other authors, notably Scott Chasalow to S-news.
Diagonal
for constructing matrices of
class diagonalMatrix
, or kronecker
which also works for "Matrix"
inheriting matrices.
Note that other CRAN packages have own versions of bdiag()
which return traditional matrices.
bdiag(matrix(1:4, 2), diag(3)) ## combine "Matrix" class and traditional matrices: bdiag(Diagonal(2), matrix(1:3, 3,4), diag(3:2)) mlist <- list(1, 2:3, diag(x=5:3), 27, cbind(1,3:6), 100:101) bdiag(lapply(mlist, as.matrix))
