as.symDMatrix.character: Coerce a Character Vector to a symDMatrix Object

In symDMatrix: Partitioned Symmetric Matrices

Description

This function creates a symDMatrix object from a character vector of path names to RData files, each containing exactly one ff_matrix object that is used as a block, and is useful for distributed computing where each block is processed on a different node.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'character'
as.symDMatrix(x, ...)

Arguments

x	A character vector with path names to RData files.
...	Additional arguments (currently unused).

Details

The RData files must be ordered by block: G11, G12, G13, ..., G1q, G22, G23, ..., G2q, ..., Gqq. The matrix-like objects are initialized similarly to load.symDMatrix.

Value

A symDMatrix object.
