Ops.mcnode: Operations on mcnode Objects

In mc2d: Tools for Two-Dimensional Monte-Carlo Simulations

Operations on mcnode Objects

Description

This function alters the way operations are performed on ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ objects for a better consistency of the theory.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mcnode'
Ops(e1, e2)

Arguments

e1	An ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ object, a vector or an array.
e2	An optional ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ object, a vector or a matrix with at least one of both objects as an ‘⁠mcnode⁠’.

Details

This method will be used for any of the Group Ops functions.

The rules are as following (illustrated with a ‘⁠+⁠’ function and ignoring the ‘⁠nvariates⁠’ dimension):

• ‘⁠0 + 0 = 0⁠’;

• ‘⁠0 + V = V⁠’: classical recycling of the scalar;

• ‘⁠0 + U = U⁠’: classical recycling of the scalar;

• ‘⁠0 + VU = VU⁠’: classical recycling of the scalar;

• ‘⁠V + V = V⁠’: if both of the same ‘⁠(nsv)⁠’ dimension;

• ‘⁠V + U = VU⁠’: the ‘⁠U⁠’ object will be recycled "by row". The ‘⁠V⁠’ object will be recycled classically "by column";

• ‘⁠V + VU = VU⁠’: if the dimension of the ‘⁠V⁠’ is ‘⁠(nsv)⁠’ and the dimension of the ‘⁠VU⁠’ is ‘⁠(nsv x nsu)⁠’. The ‘⁠V⁠’ object will be recycled classically "by column";

• ‘⁠U + U = U⁠’: if both of the same ‘⁠(nsu)⁠’ dimension;

• ‘⁠U + VU = VU⁠’: if the dimension of the ‘⁠U⁠’ is ‘⁠(nsu)⁠’ and the dimension of the ‘⁠VU⁠’ is ‘⁠(nsv x nsu)⁠’. The ‘⁠U⁠’ object will be recycled "by row";

• ‘⁠VU + VU = VU⁠’: if the dimension of the ‘⁠VU⁠’ nodes is ‘⁠(nsu x nsv)⁠’;

A vector or an array may be combined with an ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ of size ‘⁠(nsv x nsu)⁠’ if an ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ of this dimension may be built from this vector/array using the ‘⁠mcdata⁠’ function. See mcdata for the rules.

The ‘⁠outm⁠’ attribute is transferred as following: ‘⁠each + each = each⁠’; ‘⁠none + other = other⁠’; ‘⁠other1 + other2 = other1⁠’. The ‘⁠outm⁠’ attribute of the resulting node may be changed using the outm function.

For multivariate nodes, a recycling on the ‘⁠nvariates⁠’ dimension is done if a ‘⁠(nsu x nsv x nvariates)⁠’ node is combined with a ‘⁠(nsu x nsv x 1)⁠’ node.

Value

The results as a ‘⁠mcnode⁠’ object.

Examples

oldvar <- ndvar()
oldunc <- ndunc()
ndvar(30)
ndunc(20)

## Given
x0 <- mcdata(3, type="0")
xV <- mcdata(1:ndvar(), type="V")
xU <- mcdata(1:ndunc(), type="U")
xVU <- mcdata(1:(ndunc()*ndvar()), type="VU")
x0M <- mcdata(c(5, 10), type="0", nvariates=2)
xVM <- mcdata(1:(2*ndvar()), type="V", nvariates=2)
xUM <- mcdata(1:(2*ndunc()), type="U", nvariates=2)
xVUM <- mcdata(1:(2*(ndunc()*ndvar())), type="VU", nvariates=2)

## All possible combinations
## "0"
-x0
x0 + 3

## "V"
-xV
3 + xV
xV * (1:ndvar())
xV * x0
xV - xV

## "U"
-xU
xU + 3
(1:ndunc()) * xU
xU * x0
xU - xU

## Watch out the resulting type
xV + xU
xU + xV

## "VU"
-xVU
3 + xVU
(1:(ndunc()*ndvar())) * xVU
xVU + xV
x0 + xVU
xU + xVU
xVU - xVU

## Some Multivariates
x0M+3
xVM * (1:ndvar())
xVM - xV
xUM - xU
xVUM - xU
