randomLinComb {alr3}R Documentation

Compute a random linear combination of the columns of a matrix or data frame

Description

Computes Xa where X is an n \times p matrix, and a is a random vector of length p.

Usage

randomLinComb(X, seed = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'lm'
 randomLinComb(X, seed=NULL)

Arguments

X

An n \times p matrix or data frame. For the lm method, X is a linear regression model, and randomLinComb is applied to model.matrix(X)

seed

If not NULL, use this to initialize the random number generator

Details

The matrix X is first scaled and centered. a is computed to have random uniform components on (-1,1).

Value

A vector of length n.
