R: Positive-[Semi-]definite, symmetric matrices

PosDefSymmMatrix-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Positive-[Semi-]definite, symmetric matrices

### Description

The class of positive-[semi-]definite, symmetric matrices.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("PosSemDefSymmMatrix", ...)` resp. `new("PosDefSymmMatrix", ...)`. More frequently they are created via the generating functions `PosSemDefSymmMatrix` resp. `PosDefSymmMatrix`.

### Slots

`.Data`

  Object of class `"matrix"`. A numeric matrix with finite entries.

### Extends

[Class `"PosSemDefSymmMatrix"`, directly] Class `"matrix"`, from data part.
Class `"structure"`, by class `"matrix"`.
Class `"array"`, by class `"matrix"`.
Class `"vector"`, by class "matrix", with explicit coerce.
Class `"vector"`, by class "matrix", with explicit coerce.
