Matrix Sweep Operator

Description

Matrix Sweep Operator

Usage

matSwp(A, loc = c(1:nrow(A)), eps = 1e-08, nopermute = 0, chkginv = 0,
  debug = 0, history = 0)

Arguments

A

a matrix to be sweeped.

loc

vector consisting of the pivot locations.

eps

small value to check if the pivot is 0.

nopermute

=1 to avoid permuting rows/cols when inverting A.

chkginv

= 1 to check if the resulting g-inverse is genuin.

debug

= 1 to print intermediate result.

history

= 1 to return the permutation matrix D

Details

By default, inv(A) will be calculated by permuting colums of A in order to avoid zero pivots as much as possible.
In this case, if P is the permutation matrix,
inv(A) = P' inv(A P)
If history=1 is given, a list of A=matSwp(A) and P=Pmatrix will be returned.



Can be used with a character matrix.

Value

A matrix swept or a list of A matrix swept and permutation matrix.

Examples

M <- matrix(c(1,2,3,3,2,1,4,5,2),3)
Minv <- matSwp(M)
Minv-matSwp(M,1:3)
Minv-matSwp(M,c(3,1,2))
M-matSwp( matSwp(M,1), 1 )
matSwp(demomat(3,3),chkginv=1)
