Overview
WoodburyMatrix is an R package that provides a hierarchy of classes and methods for manipulating matrices formed implicitly from the sums of the inverses of other matrices, a situation commonly encountered in spatial statistics and related fields. It enables easy use of the Woodbury matrix identity and the matrix determinant lemma to allow computation (e.g., solving linear systems) without having to form the actual matrix.
Installation
The package can be installed from CRAN using
install.packages('WoodburyMatrix')Alternatively, you can get the latest development version from GitHub with
devtools::install_github('mbertolacci/WoodburyMatrix')Using the package
An overview of the related mathematics and instructions on using the package are provided on the package website.
