R: Ensure alignment of two bdsmatrix objects

bdsmatrix.reconcile {bdsmatrix} | R Documentation

## Ensure alignment of two bdsmatrix objects

### Description

This function is used by coxme. When a random effect is expressed as a sum of variance terms (matrices), it is important that all of them have the same row/column order and the same block structure. This does so, while retaining as much sparsity in the result as possible.

### Usage

    bdsmatrix.reconcile(varlist, group)

### Arguments

`varlist` | a list, each element of which is a matrix or bdsmatrix object
`group` | a vector of dimnames, the target match for matrice's dimnames

### Value

a varlist, whose individual elements may have had row/column rearrangment.
