hello.
I have a query about the Matrix package for R. I wrote some code a while
ago using the Matrix package version 1.6.2 with an early version of R, to do some linear least squares for regression:
xn
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 1 0.7429352 0.5519528 0.4100652
[2,] 1 0.7443713 0.5540886 0.4124477
[3,] 1 0.7447385 0.5546355 0.4130584
[4,] 1 0.7459597 0.5564558 0.4150936
temp<-crossprod(xn) temp
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 4.000000 2.978005 2.2171327 1.6506648 [2,] 2.978005 2.217133 1.6506648 1.2289297 [3,] 2.217133 1.650665 1.2289297 0.9149473 [4,] 1.650665 1.228930 0.9149473 0.6811865
solve.Matrix(temp,t(xn))
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 33397.34 122081.7 -241005.4 85527.48 [2,] 21063.72 -664920.2 812316.0 -168459.99 [3,] -236935.74 1125548.2 -877776.2 -10835.64 [4,] 199314.69 -608045.8 297509.1 111221.72
(Note: here I used solve.Matrix since the generic solve said the matrix is singular).
I recently updated my versions of R to 1.9.1 and also the Matrix package, but I can't seem to get any similar equivalent matrix calculations to work (I get error messages like ".Call function name not in DLL for package Matrix" or "Lapack routine dpotrf returned error code 4"). I have also tried using symmetric matrix commands, but to no avail. Can anyone help me out?
many thanks
