The Variable class.

This class represents an optimization variable.

Variable(rows = NULL, cols = NULL, name = NA_character_, ...)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
as.character(x)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
name(x)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
value(object)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
grad(object)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
variables(object)

# S4 method for class 'Variable'
canonicalize(object)

Arguments

rows

The number of rows in the variable.

cols

The number of columns in the variable.

name

(Optional) A character string representing the name of the variable.

...

(Optional) Additional attribute arguments. See Leaf for details.

x, object

A Variable object.

Methods (by generic)

• name(Variable): The name of the variable.

• value(Variable): Get the value of the variable.

• grad(Variable): The sub/super-gradient of the variable represented as a sparse matrix.

• variables(Variable): Returns itself as a variable.

• canonicalize(Variable): The canonical form of the variable.

Slots

dim

The dimensions of the variable.

name

(Optional) A character string representing the name of the variable.
