appendix D Matrix algebra in R
Many of the functions described in this book operate on matrices. The manipulation of matrices is built deeply into the R language. Table D.1 describes operators and functions that are particularly important for solving linear algebra problems. In the table, A and B are matrices, x and b are vectors, and k is a scalar.

Several user-contributed packages are particularly useful for matrix algebra. The matlab package contains wrapper functions and variables used to replicate MATLAB function calls as closely as possible. These functions can help you port MATLAB applications and code to R. There’s also a useful cheat sheet for converting MATLAB statements to R statements at http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/octave-r.html.
The Matrix package contains functions that extend R in order to support highly dense or sparse matrices. It provides efficient access to BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines), Lapack (dense matrix), TAUCS (sparse matrix), and UMFPACK (sparse matrix) routines.
Finally, the matrixStats package provides methods for operating on the rows and columns of matrices, including functions that calculate counts, sums, products, central tendency, dispersion, and more. Each is optimized for speed and efficient memory use.
