simplex.createConstraints: Create constraints that define the (n-1)-simplex

Description

This function takes a transformation matrix from the plane coincident with the (n-1) simplex and (optionally) additional constraints defined in n-dimensional space, and generates a set of constraints defining the simplex and (optionally) the additional constraints in the (n-1)-dimensional homogeneous coordinate system.

Usage

simplex.createConstraints(transform, userConstr=NULL)

Arguments

transform

Transformation matrix

userConstr

Additional constraints

Value

A set of constraints in the (n-1)-dimensional homogeneous coordinate system.

Details

The transformation of the constraint matrix to (n-1)-dimensional homogeneous coordinates is a necessary preprocessing step for applying "Hit and Run" to subsets of the simplex defined by userConstr.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
n <- 3
userConstr <- mergeConstraints(
	ordinalConstraint(3, 1, 2), ordinalConstraint(3, 2, 3))

transform <- simplex.createTransform(n)
constr <- simplex.createConstraints(transform, userConstr)
seedPoint <- createSeedPoint(constr, homogeneous=TRUE)

N <- 10000
samples <- har(seedPoint, constr, N, 1, homogeneous=TRUE, transform=transform)$samples

# Check that w_i >= 0
