mx: Numerical and Symbolic Matrix Product

In eguidotti/calculus: High Dimensional Numerical and Symbolic Calculus

Numerical and Symbolic Matrix Product

Description

Multiplies two numeric or character matrices, if they are conformable. If one argument is a vector, it will be promoted to either a row or column matrix to make the two arguments conformable. If both are vectors of the same length, it will return the inner product (as a matrix).

Usage

mx(x, y)

x %mx% y

Arguments

x	numeric or character matrix.
y	numeric or character matrix.

Value

matrix.

Functions

• x %mx% y: binary operator.
