Examples

# Create a block matrix using `lotri()`
mat <- lotri({
   a+b ~ c(1,
           0.5, 1)
   c ~ 1
   d +e ~ c(1,
            0.5, 1)
})

print(mat)

# now convert t a list of matrices

mat2 <- lotriMatInv(mat)
print(mat2)

# Of course you can convert it back to a full matrix:

mat3 <- lotriMat(mat2)

print(mat3)
