kronecker | R Documentation |
Computes the generalised kronecker product of two arrays,
X
and Y
.
kronecker(X, Y, FUN = "*", make.dimnames = FALSE, ...) X %x% Y
X |
A vector or array. |
Y |
A vector or array. |
FUN |
a function; it may be a quoted string. |
make.dimnames |
Provide dimnames that are the product of the
dimnames of |
... |
optional arguments to be passed to |
If X
and Y
do not have the same number of
dimensions, the smaller array is padded with dimensions of size
one. The returned array comprises submatrices constructed by
taking X
one term at a time and expanding that term as
FUN(x, Y, ...)
.
%x%
is an alias for kronecker
(where
FUN
is hardwired to "*"
).
An array A
with dimensions dim(X) * dim(Y)
.
