ordering {spam} | R Documentation |
Extract the (inverse) permutation used by the Cholesky decomposition
ordering( x, inv=FALSE)
x |
object of class spam.chol. method returned by the function
chol . |
inv |
Return the permutation (default) or inverse thereof. |
Recall that calculating a Cholesky factor from a sparse matrix
consists of finding a permutation first, then calculating the factors
of the permuted matrix. The ordering is important when working with
the factors themselves.
The ordering from a full/regular matrix is 1:n
.
Note that there exists many different algorithms to find
orderings.
See the examples, they speak more than 10 lines.
