From Matrix v0.99-3 by Douglas Bates

Virtual Class "sparseMatrix" --- Mother of Sparse Matrices

Virtual Mother Class of All Sparse Matrices

Keywords: classes

Note

In method selection for multiplication operations (i.e. %*% and the two-argument form of crossprod) the sparseMatrix class takes precedence in the sense that if one operand is a sparse matrix and the other is any type of dense matrix then the dense matrix is coerced to a dgeMatrix and the appropriate sparse matrix method is used.

Extends

Class "Matrix", directly.

Examples

showClass("sparseMatrix") ## and look at the help() of its subclasses
