Lower and Upper Triangular Part of a Sparse Matrix

Description

Returns the lower or upper triangular structure or entries of a sparse matrix.

Usage

lower.tri(x, diag = FALSE)
upper.tri(x, diag = FALSE)

Arguments

x

diag

logical. Should the diagonal be included?

Details

Often not only the structure of the matrix is required but the entries as well. For compatibility, the default is only a structure consisting of ones (representing TRUEs). Setting the flag getOption( "spam.trivalues") to TRUE, the function returns the actual values.
