  • added vignette, latex-equations.Rmd illustrating the variety of functions in the package for constructing matrix equations in LaTeX

matlib 0.9.2

CRAN release: 2019-05-29

matlib 0.9.1

CRAN release: 2018-04-04

  • fix references to car datatsets -> carData

matlib 0.9.0

  • showEqn() gains a reduced logical to print only the unique regression equations when a lm()-type object is passed. May be combined with the simplify logical argument for further reductions
  • echelon() gains a reduced logical to indicate whether the reduced or non-reduced form is computed
  • powerMethod() gains a plot = TRUE logical to draw the iteration history
  • added support for 'lm' objects to showEqn() to show the design matrix equations
  • added verbose option to GramSchmidt() and another example
  • added printMatEqn() to print matrix expressions side-by-side
  • prepare to release as a cumulative major version
  • Phil Chalmers is now recognized officially as a package author [aut]

matlib 0.8.3

  • rename functions for consistency: eig() -> Eigen(), point_on_line() -> pointOnLine(), power_method() -> powerMethod(), row_cofactors() -> rowCofactors(), row_minors() -> rowMinors().

  • add Det() to compute determinants by elimination, from eigenvalues, or by minors and cofactors, with possibility of verbose output.

  • plotEqn3d() gets an axes argument and lit to control lighting of the planes; lit solves a problem with the planes becoming indistinguishable in some rotations.

  • add svdDemo() function to illustrate the SVD of a 3 x 3 matrix [thx: Duncan Murdoch]

  • add symMat() to create a square symmetric matrix from a vector.

  • add angle() to calculate angle between vectors

  • powerMethod() gets a keep argument, for possible use in plotting the convergence of eigenvectors.

  • add adjoint(), to round out methods for determinants

  • add GramSchmidt() for the Gram-Schmidt algorithm on columns of a matrix. The existing function gsorth() will be deprecated and then removed.

  • gsorth() has been deprecated.

  • fixed use of MASS::fractions in gaussianElimination

  • added printMatEqn() to print matrix expressions side-by-side

matlib 0.8.1

CRAN release: 2016-09-17

  • remove inst/doc to satisfy CRAN

matlib 0.8.0

  • add a vignette on properties of determinants (det-ex1)
  • add a vignette on evaluation of determinants (det-ex2)
  • add vignette on matrix inverse (inv-ex1)
  • now use travis-ci to check builds

  • added LU() for LU decomposition

matlib 0.7.3

CRAN release: 2016-06-06

  • Changed gaussianElimination() by defining local ERO functions to make the algorithm clearer; in verbose mode, show each ERO.
  • Added a draw argument to vectors3d() and arrows3d(), which defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, just returns returns the “reg.length” to help in scaling.
  • Optionally scale error spheres (and circles) produced by regvec3d() so that they project confidence intervals on the x1 and x2 axes.
  • Small cosmetic changes to regvec3d().
  • showEqn() and gaussianElimination() get latex arguments, to print results in LaTeX format [thx: Phil Chalmers]
