bdsmatrix (version 1.3-4)

bdsmatrix-class: Class "bdsmatrix"

Description

Representation for a Block Diagonal Sparse matrix

Objects from the Class

Objects of this class are usually created using the bdsmatrix, bdsI or bdsBlock functions. The result is a symmetrix matrix whose upper left portion is block-diagonal, with an optional border on the right and bottom that is dense. The matrices were originally created to represent familial correlation structures, which have a block for each family but no connection between families.

Slots

blocksize:

An integer vector containing the sizes of the diagonal blocks

blocks:

A numeric vector containing the contents of the block portion. Only the lower triangle of each block is stored.

rmat:

An optional numeric matrix containing the dense portion

offdiag:

A single numeric element, default zero, which is the value for elements off the block-diagonal

Dim:

The dimension of the matrix, an integer vector of length 2

Dimnames:

The dimnames of the matrix, a list with 2 elements

[

signature(x = "bdsmatrix"): if the subscripts are a set of increasing integers, and the row and column subscripts are identical, then the result is aslo a bdsmatrix. This is useful for example to create the kinship matrix for all females from an overall kinship matrix. If the subscripts do not match, then an ordinary matrix is created
