expokit_dgexpv_Qmat: EXPOKIT dgexpv matrix exponentiation on Q matrix

Description

This function converts a matrix to COO format and exponentiates it via the EXPOKIT dgexpv function (designed for sparse matrices) and wrapper functions wrapalldgexpv_ around dgexpv.

Usage

expokit_dgexpv_Qmat(Qmat = NULL, t = 2.1,
    inputprobs_for_fast = NULL, transpose_needed = TRUE,
    transform_to_coo_TF = TRUE, coo_n = NULL, anorm = NULL,
    check_for_0_rows = TRUE)

Arguments

Qmat

an input Q transition matrix

t

a time value to exponentiate by

inputprobs_for_fast

If NULL (default), the full probability matrix (Pmat) is returned. However, the full speed of EXPOKIT on sparse matrices will be exploited if inputprobs_for_fast=c(starting probabilities). In this case these starting probabilities are input to myDMEXPV directly, as v, and w, the output probabilities, are returned.

transpose_needed

If TRUE (default), matrix will be transposed (apparently EXPOKIT needs the input matrix to be transposed compared to normal)

transform_to_coo_TF

Should the matrix be tranposed to COO? COO format is required for EXPOKIT's sparse-matrix functions (like dmexpv and unlike the padm-related functions. Default TRUE; if FALSE, user must put a COO-formated matrix in Qmat. Supplying the coo matrix is probably faster for repeated calculations on large matrices.

coo_n

If a COO matrix is input, coo_n specified the order (# rows, equals # columns) of the matrix.

anorm

dgexpv requires an initial guess at the norm of the matrix. Using the R function norm might get slow with large matrices. If so, the user can input a guess manually (Lagrange seems to just use 1 or 0, if I recall correctly).

check_for_0_rows

If TRUE or a numeric value, the input Qmat is checked for all-zero rows, since these will crash the FORTRAN wrapalldmexpv function. A small nonzero value set to check_for_0_rows or the default (0.0000000000001) is input to off-diagonal cells in the row (and the diagonal value is normalized), which should fix the problem.

Value

tmpoutmat the output matrix. wrapalldgexpv_ produces additional output relating to accuracy of the output matrix etc.; these can be by a direct call of dgexpv.

Details

NOTE: DGEXPV vs. DMEXPV. According to the EXPOKIT documentation, DGEXPV should be faster than DMEXPV, however DMEXPV runs an accuracy check appropriate for Markov chains, which is not done in DGEXPV.

From EXPOKIT:

* The method used is based on Krylov subspace projection * techniques and the matrix under consideration interacts only * via the external routine 'matvec' performing the matrix-vector * product (matrix-free method). * * This [DMEXPV, not DGEXPV -- NJM] is a customised version for Markov Chains. This means that a * check is done within this code to ensure that the resulting vector * w is a probability vector, i.e., w must have all its components * in [0,1], with sum equal to 1. This check is done at some expense * and the user may try DGEXPV which is cheaper since it ignores * probability constraints.

I (NJM) have not noticed a difference between the outputs of these two functions, but it might occur with large matrices.

COO (coordinated list) format is a compressed format that is required for EXPOKIT's sparse-matrix functions (like dgexpv and unlike EXPOKIT's padm-related functions. COO format is described here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_matrix#Coordinate_list_.28COO.29

If Qmat is NULL (default), a default matrix is input.
