predictor {SymbolicDeterminants}

Calculates Size of Elements of Determinant Guide and of Symbolic Representation

Description

In order to anticipate the impact of p on calculation time and storage, some indication can be found from size.predictor( ).

Usage

predictor(p,verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

p

Size of matrix (pxp)

verbose

Logical. TRUE causes printing of function ID before and after running

Details

Provide full path in storage, using double backslashes. Example: storage="c:\determinants". If storage directory is in same folder as R Workspace, storage=".\name" is sufficient.

Value

Summary of calculations in other functions of this package and their relationship to p, including the number of levels of positive terms and of negative terms, the number of elements of the matrix in each term of the determinant, and the number of lines of text required for the symbolic representation of the determinant.
