Diagonal Positive-Definite Matrix
This function is a constructor for the pdDiag class,
representing a diagonal positive-definite matrix. If the matrix
associated with object is of dimension n, it is
represented by n unrestricted parameters, given by the logarithm
of the square-root of the diagonal values. When value is
numeric(0), an uninitialized pdMat object, a one-sided
formula, or a vector of character strings, object is returned
as an uninitialized pdDiag object (with just some of its
attributes and its class defined) and needs to have its coefficients
assigned later, generally using the coef or matrix replacement
functions. If value is an initialized pdMat object,
object will be constructed from
as.matrix(value). Finally, if value is a numeric vector,
it is assumed to represent the unrestricted coefficients of the
underlying positive-definite
matrix.
pdDiag(value, form, nam, data)
value |
an optional initialization value, which can be any of the
following: a |
form |
an optional one-sided linear formula specifying the
row/column names for the matrix represented by |
nam |
an optional vector of character strings specifying the
row/column names for the matrix represented by object. It must have
length equal to the dimension of the underlying positive-definite
matrix and unreplicated elements. This argument is ignored when
|
data |
an optional data frame in which to evaluate the variables
named in |
a pdDiag object representing a diagonal positive-definite
matrix, also inheriting from class pdMat.
