diag: Matrix Diagonal

DiagR Documentation

Matrix Diagonal

Description

Generate diagonal matrices or return diagonal of a matrix

Usage

Diag(x, k = 0)

Arguments

x

vector or matrix

k

integer indicating a secondary diagonal

Details

If x is a vector, Diag(x, k) generates a matrix with x as the (k-th secondary) diagonal.

If x is a matrix, Diag(x, k) returns the (k-th secondary) diagonal of x.

The k-th secondary diagonal is above the main diagonal for k > 0 and below the main diagonal for k < 0.

Value

matrix or vector

Note

In Matlab/Octave this function is called diag() and has a different signature than the corresponding function in R.
