hadamard: Hadamard product of two matrices

Description

This function returns the Hadamard or element-wise product of two matrices \(\bold{X}\) and \(\bold{Y}\), that have the same dimensions.

Usage

hadamard(x, y = x)

Value

A matrix with the same dimension of \(\bold{X}\) (and \(\bold{Y}\)) which corresponds to the element-by-element product of the two matrices.

Arguments
