umx (version 1.7.5)

umx_read_lower: Read lower-triangle of data matrix from console or file

Description

umx_read_lower will read a lower triangle of data, either from the console, or from file, and return a full matrix, optionally coerced to positive definite. This is useful, especially when copying data from a paper that includes just the lower triangle of a correlation matrix.

Usage

umx_read_lower(file = "", diag = TRUE, names = as.character(paste("X",
  1:n, sep = "")), ensurePD = FALSE)

Arguments

file

Path to a file to read (Default "" will read from user input)

diag

Whether the data unclude the diagonal or not: Defaults to TRUE

names

The default names for the variables. Defaults to as.character(paste("X", 1:n, sep=""))

ensurePD

Whether to coerce the resultant matrix to positive definite (Defaults to FALSE)

Value

- matrix
