covNrow2col {nnspat}

Conversion of the Covariance Matrix of the Row-wise Vectorized Cell Counts to Column-wise Vectorized Cell Counts in an NNCT

Description

Converts the k^2 \times k^2 covariance matrix of row-wise vectorized cell counts N_{ij} for i,j=1,\ldots,k in the NNCT, ct to the covariance matrix of column-wise vectorized cell counts. In the output, the covariance matrix entries are cov(N_{ij},N_{kl}) when N_{ij} values are corresponding to the column-wise vectorization of ct. These covariances are valid under RL or conditional on Q and R under CSR.

Usage

covNrow2col(covN)

Arguments

covN

The k^2 \times k^2 covariance matrix of row-wise vectorized cell counts of NNCT, ct.

Value

The k^2 \times k^2 covariance matrix of column-wise vectorized cell counts N_{ij} for i,j=1,\ldots,k in the NNCT, ct.
