set.submatrix: Store matrix inside another matrix

In matrixcalc: Collection of Functions for Matrix Calculations

Store matrix inside another matrix

Description

This function returns a matrix which is a copy of matrix x into which the contents of matrix y have been inserted at the given row and column.

Usage

set.submatrix(x, y, row, col)

Arguments

x	a matrix
y	a matrix
row	an integer row number
col	an integer column number

Value

A matrix.

Note

If the argument x is not a numeric matrix, then the function presents an error message and stops. If the argument y is not a numeric matrix, then the function presents an error message and stops. If the argument row is not a positive integer, then the function presents an error message and stops. If the argument col is not a positive integer, then the function presents an error message and stops. If the target row range does not overlap with the row range of argument x, then the function presents an error message and stops. If the target col range does not overlap with the col range of argument x, then the function presents an error message and stops.
