Re: R for Linear Algebra Dear All: In my STA 591 topics in Biostatistics Fall 2022, I am planning to spend about 5 weeks on Linear Algebra. I am wondering if someone has or knows the source for some R functions/programs written for linear algebra calculations. Also if you know a book in Linear Algebra with R, will be a good help too. Any help in this matter is highly appreciated in advance. With many thanks Abou ______________________ *AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa, PhD* *Professor, Statistics and Data Science* *Graduate Coordinator* *Department of Mathematics and Statistics* *University of Southern Maine* [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
R is a language specially made to do many things with vectors and matrices and arrays with any reasonable?number of dimensions and also has a host of functions that do things like make diagonal matrices, calculate?determinants and multiply them in several ways,??invert them, get eigenvalues and much more if you look for?packages. So the question becomes, what else do you feel you need for a Linear Algebra course that a simple web?search would not have found like this: https://towardsdatascience.com/intro-to-r-linear-algebra-2a4de2506c93 https://towardsdatascience.com/intro-to-r-linear-algebra-2a4de2506c93#:~:text=R%20is%20especially%20handy%20with,solvers%20and%20dynamic%20indexing%20capabilities. Unless I missed something, yes, R is more easily able to be used to do such things than many other languages albeit?just about any language tends to have access to a variety of functions that may do these things but are not?built in. -----Original Message----- From: AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa <abouelmakarim1962 at gmail.com> To: R mailing list <r-help at r-project.org> Sent: Thu, Jun 23, 2022 10:39 am Subject: [R] R for Linear Algebra Re: R for Linear Algebra Dear All: In my STA 591 topics in Biostatistics Fall 2022, I am planning to spend about 5 weeks on Linear Algebra.

Let me recommend my book
Statistical Analysis and Data Display:
An Intermediate Course with Examples in R (2nd edition),
Richard M. Heiberger and Burt Holland
Springer 2015
Section I.4 is a 23 page review of Topics in Matrix Algebra
with detailed references to appropriate R functions.
It is part of Appendix I: Mathematical Preliminaries.
The entire Appendix is a free download for everyone from Springer
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-2122-5
Click on the "Back Matter" PDF link.
The "Back Matter" download includes the 19 page
Appendix G: Computational Precision and Floating-Point Arithmetic.
Appendix G is referenced in FAQ 7.31 and illustrates many of the
questions and answers that repeatedly reappear on the R-help list.
The book was designed for a first-year graduate statistical methods
course. I (and others) have also used selected chapters for a second
year undergraduate course.
The entire book is available for download from the link above.
If your university library has the right arrangements with Springer,
then the entire book is a free download for you and your students.
And of course you can get a paper copy from the same web page.
