similar to: power of a matrix

Hello all, To calculate the power of a matrix, I used the command "mtx.exp(X, n)", but there is an error saying "Error: couldn't find function "mtx.exp"". How can I deal with this problem? Jing

Hi, I tried to install fMultivar package but an error occurs that I could not understand. (I've been worked with linux / Ubuntu 6.06 LTS) > install.packages("fMultivar") Warning in install.packages("fMultivar") : argument 'lib' is missing: using /usr /local/lib/R/site-library --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk

Hello, I would like to use the function EWMA() in the fMultivar Package and I have a series of data x, which is the returns series. Basically, I would like to get the variance estimation using EWMA. I am trying something like EWMA(x, lambda) and I have a couple of questions: Should x be the returns series or price series in my case? When I get the result, there are the same numbers of data

Hi, Is there a function for raising a matrix to a power? For example if you like to compute A%*%A%*%A, is there an abbreviation similar to A^3? Atte Tenkanen > A=rbind(c(1,1),c(-1,-2)) > A [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 1 [2,] -1 -2 > A^3 [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 1 [2,] -1 -8 But: > A%*%A%*%A [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,] -2 -5

Hi All, I have a Quantum scalar i40 tape library. I need to configure it to TWO tape partition libraries, e.g., library_a and library_b, so that each library has its own tape drive. Then connect this physical tape library to two different CentOS servers so that each server can see its own media changer and tape drive. I once had a successful configuration on one host but NOT on the other. One

Hi folks! Does anybody know how to use the OLS function in fMultivar to do dynamic regression? I've tried specifying lags in OLS using a data series created in fSeries and it doesn't seem to work. I've done dynamic regression using dyn$lm and I was wondering how to accomplish the same thing using the OLS function from fMultivar. Thanks! John [[alternative HTML version

Hello R-users, I have a symmetric matrix of numerical values and I want to obtain those values in the upper or lower triangle of the matrix in a vector. I tried to do the job by using two for-loops but it doens't seem to be a clever way, and I'd like to know a more efficient code for a large matrix of thousands of rows and columns. Below is my code for your reference. Thanks a lot.

Hi Suppose I have a matrix (cohort are rows and years are columns) [2000] [2001] [2002] [2003] [C1] 0.01 0.03 0.02 0.09 [C2] 0.06 0.05 0.07 0.11 [C3] 0.1 0.5 0.4 0.98 [C4] 0.7 0.6 0.2 0.77 I want to extracts the diagonals to get a matrix which looks like this (C1 becomes C2 in 2002, C2 becomes C3 in 2003

Dear R Folks, I'm a big fan of R, but there are a couple of things that repeatedly annoy me, and I wondered if anyone has neat ways to deal with them. (a) When using "apply" row-wise to a matrix, it returns the results column-wise, and to preserve the original orientation, I've to do a transpose. E.g. I've to keep doing a transpose, which I consider to be quite

My unit's firmware: library 05.03, tape d22h, shows the device as set to random mode. But mtx -f /dev/st0 status gives an error that google says the device is in sequential mode. dmesg|grep -i hp does reflect CentOS thinks the device is a sequential unit. I've tried this with Fedora 8, too, and both show the same, so it is either an issue with CentOS/Fedora RPMs, or the version of

Hi, I'm still not quite there with my H-F (G-G) correction code. I have it working for the main effects, but I just can't figure out how to do it for the effect interactions. The thing I really don't know (and can't find anything about) is how to calculate the covariance matrix for the interaction between the two (or even n) main factors. I've looked through some books

Hello, I'm new on this list. First of all, thank you to all the developers of this great project! At the moment there is only an application that keeps me on both macos and windows, its name is PWGL a free environment for computer assisted composition in openGL. (http://www2.siba.fi/PWGL/) I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.59. I have to say that I also installed vcrun2005 and

H i, all! First of all, I'd like to apologize for my poor English. It's for years I don't use it. This is a R-version of a function I wrote a long ago for my HP48 calculator. It works with the binary expression of the power and just need to duplicate the mem used by X. Hope this helps. mtx.exp<-function(X,n) #Function to calculate the n-th power of a matrix X; { phi <-

Dear R colleagues, as a result of my calculations regarding the inter-observer-variability in bronchoscopy, I get a confusion matrix like the following: 0 1 1001 1010 11 0 609 11 54 36 6 1 1 2 6 0 2 10 14 0 0 8 4 100 4 0 0 0 0 1000 23 7 12 10 5 1001 0 0 4 0 0 1010 4 0 0 3 0 1011 1 0 1 0 2 11

Is the matrix exponential available in some package? The cannonical reference is "Nineteen dubious ways to take the exponential of a matrix". (Love that title) Terry T.

I have an array with names which contain multibyte characters. ?When I try to write the array to a file using write.table and row.names = T I receive an error message when the first such name is encountered, saying that I have not specified the option to generate NA instead. ?I really would be satisfied if the row name in the file were exactly what is displayed when I print the array on the

Dear all, I would like to compute power of a square non symmetric matrix. This is a part of a simulation study. Matrices are quite large (e.g., 900 by 900), and contains many 0 (more than 99 %). I have try the function mtx.exp of the Biodem package: library(Biodem) m <- matrix(0, 900, 900) i <- sample(1:900, 3000, replace = T) j <- sample(1:900, 3000, replace = T) for(x in 1:3000)

Hi, Suppose I have a matrix, A. Is there an easy way to find A^{n}? I mean, I can do something like: A %*% A %*% A %*% A for A^4, but if I want A^{10} it would be kind of annoying...
