## S3 method for class 'spam':

Arguments

x
a spam object
n
a single integer. If positive, size for the resulting object: number of elements for a vector (including lists), rows for a matrix or data frame or lines for a function. If negative, all but the n last/first number of elements of
m
similar to n but for the number of columns.
addrownums

...
arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Value

  • An regular matrix.

Details

For matrices, 2-dim tables and data frames, head() (tail()) returns the first (last) n rows and m columns when n > 0 or all but the last (first) n rows when n < 0 (with similar behavior for m).

tail() will add row and column names of the form "[n,]" and "[,n]" to the result, so that it looks similar to the last lines and columns of x when printed. Setting addrownums = FALSE suppresses this behaviour.

A method for spam.chol.NgPeyton objects is exported as well.

Examples

Run this code
head( precmat.RW2( 10))
tail( precmat.season(n=10, season=3), n=4, m=10)
