Description

Convert other kinds of data to a sparse three-dimensional array.

Details

This function converts data in various formats into a sparse three-dimensional array (object of class "sparse3Darray").

The argument x can be

• a sparse three-dimensional array (class "sparse3Darray")

• an array

• a matrix, which will be interpreted as an array with dimension c(dim(x), 1)

• a sparse matrix (inheriting class "sparseMatrix" in the Matrix package) which will be interpreted as an array with dimension c(dim(x), 1)

• a vector of atomic values, which will be interpreted as an array of dimension c(length(x), 1, 1)

• a sparse vector (inheriting class "sparseVector" in the Matrix package) which will be interpreted as an array of dimension c(x@length, 1, 1)

• a list of matrices with the same dimensions, which will be interpreted as slices A[,,k] of an array A

• a list of sparse matrices (each inheriting class "sparseMatrix" in the Matrix package) with the same dimensions, which will be interpreted as slices A[,,k] of an array A.

Examples

  A <- array(c(1,3,0,0,0,0,0,4,0,2,0,5,
               0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0),
             dim=c(3,4,2))
  #' array to sparse array
  B <- as.sparse3Darray(A) # positive extent
  #' list of matrices to sparse array
  B <- as.sparse3Darray(list(A[,,1], A[,,2]))
  #' matrix to sparse array
  B1 <- as.sparse3Darray(A[,,1])
  #' vector to sparse array
  B11 <- as.sparse3Darray(A[,1,1])
