replace_triangle: Replace Lower and Upper Triangular Part of a Matrix

Description

Replace the lower or the upper triangular part of a (correlation) matrix.

Usage

replace_triangle(x, triangle = c("lower", "upper"), by = "", diagonal = FALSE)
replace_upper_triangle(x, by = "", diagonal = FALSE)
replace_lower_triangle(x, by = "", diagonal = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a (correlation) matrix

triangle

the triangle to replace. Allowed values are one of "upper" and "lower".

by

a replacement argument. Appropriate values are either "" or NA. Used to replace the upper, lower or the diagonal part of the matrix.

diagonal

logical. Default is FALSE. If TRUE, the matrix diagonal is included.

Value

an object of class cor_mat_tri, which is a data frame

Functions

• replace_triangle: replaces the specified triangle by empty or NA.

• replace_upper_triangle: replaces the upper triangular part of a matrix. Returns an object of class lower_tri.

• replace_lower_triangle: replaces the lower triangular part of a matrix. Returns an object of class lower_tri
