mxAlgebra {OpenMx} | R Documentation |
This function creates a new MxAlgebra object.
mxAlgebra(expression, name = NA, dimnames = NA)
expression |
An R expression of OpenMx-supported matrix operators and matrix functions. |
name |
An optional character string indicating the name of the object. |
dimnames |
list. The dimnames attribute for the algebra: a list of length 2 giving the row and column names respectively. An empty list is treated as NULL, and a list of length one as row names. The list can be named, and the list names will be used as names for the dimensions. |
The mxAlgebra function is used to create algebraic expressions that operate on one or more MxMatrix objects. To evaluate an MxAlgebra object, it must be placed in an MxModel object, along with all referenced MxMatrix
objects and the mxAlgebraObjective
function. The mxAlgebraObjective
function must reference the MxAlgebra
object to be evaluated by name.

solve()
Inversion
t()

MxAlgebra for the S4 class created by mxAlgebra. mxAlgebraObjective for an objective functions which takes an MxAlgebra or MxMatrix object as the function to be minimized. MxMatrix and mxMatrix for objects which may be entered in the 'expression' argument and the function that creates them. More information about the OpenMx package may be found here.
