matvec: Multiply a Matrix by a Vector

Description

Multiply the rows or columns of a matrix by the elements of a vector.

Usage

matvec(M, v)
vecmat(v, M)

Arguments

M

numeric matrix, or object which can be coerced to a matrix.

v

numeric vector, or object which can be coerced to a vector. Length should match the number of columns of M (for matvec) or the number of rows of M (for vecmat)

Value

A matrix of the same dimensions as M.

Details

matvec(M,v) is equivalent to M %*% diag(v) but is faster to execute. Similarly vecmat(v,M) is equivalent to diag(v) %*% M but is faster to execute.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
A <- matrix(1:12,3,4)
A
matvec(A,c(1,2,3,4))
vecmat(c(1,2,3),A)
# }
