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.
