Usage

remove_duplicate(x)

## S3 method for class 'CsparseMatrix'

Arguments

x	A matrix or CsparseMatrix.

Details

• matrix

Value

x with duplicate columns removed.

Examples

# Create a sparse matrix with duplicated columns
x <- Matrix::rsparsematrix(10, 4, 0.1)
colnames(x) <- paste0("x", 1:4)
x <- cbind(x, x[, c(1, 4)])
# Print x
