r-matrixextra 0.1.15

This package extends sparse matrix and vector classes from the Matrix package by providing:

1. Methods and operators that work natively on CSR formats (compressed sparse row, a.k.a. RsparseMatrix) such as slicing/sub-setting, assignment, rbind(), mathematical operators for CSR and COO such as addition or sqrt(), and methods such as diag();

2. Multi-threaded matrix multiplication and cross-product for many <sparse, dense> types, including the float32 type from float;

3. Coercion methods between pairs of classes which are not present in Matrix, such as from dgCMatrix to ngRMatrix, as well as convenience conversion functions;

4. Utility functions for sparse matrices such as sorting the indices or removing zero-valued entries;

5. Fast transposes that work by outputting in the opposite storage format;

6. Faster replacements for many Matrix methods for all sparse types, such as slicing and elementwise multiplication.

7. Convenience functions for sparse objects, such as mapSparse or a shorter show method.
