mat2vec {nnspat}

Conversion of a Matrix to a Vector

Description

Converts the contingency table (or any matrix) ct to a vector by default row-wise (i.e., by appending each row one after the other) or column-wise, and also returns the entry indices (in the original matrix ct) in a k^2 \times 2 matrix

Usage

mat2vec(ct, byrow = TRUE)

Arguments

ct

A matrix, in particular a contingency table

byrow

A logical argument (default=TRUE). If TRUE, rows of ct are appended to obtain the vector and if FALSE columns of ct are appended to obtain the vector.

Value

A list with two elements

vec

The vectorized form the matrix ct, by default appending the rows of ct

ind

The k^2 \times 2 matrix of entry indices (in the original matrix ct) whose i-th row corresponds to the i-th entry in vec.
