qpCov {qpgraph} | R Documentation |
Calculates the sample covariance matrix, just as the function cov()
but returning a dspMatrix-class
object which efficiently
stores such a dense symmetric matrix.

This function makes the same calculation as the cov
function
but returns a sample covariance matrix stored in the space-efficient class
dspMatrix-class
and, moreover, allows one for calculating
the uncorrected sum of squares and deviations which equals
(n-1) * cov()
.
A sample covariance matrix stored as a dspMatrix-class
object.
See the Matrix
package for full details on this object class.
