Package 'float'

Title: 32-Bit Floats
Description: R comes with a suite of utilities for linear algebra with "numeric" (double precision) vectors/matrices. However, sometimes single precision (or less!) is more than enough for a particular task. This package extends R's linear algebra facilities to include 32-bit float (single precision) data. Float vectors/matrices have half the precision of their "numeric"-type counterparts but are generally faster to numerically operate on, for a performance vs accuracy trade-off. The internal representation is an S4 class, which allows us to keep the syntax identical to that of base R's. Interaction between floats and base types for binary operators is generally possible; in these cases, type promotion always defaults to the higher precision. The package ships with copies of the single precision 'BLAS' and 'LAPACK', which are automatically built in the event they are not available on the system.

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'

Details

The factorization is performed by the LAPACK routine sgeqp3(). This should be similar to calling qr() on an ordinary R matrix with the argument LAPACK=TRUE. Calling qr(x, LAPACK=FALSE) on a double precision matrix 'x' (the default) will not be comparable in performance (it is much slower) or numerics to calling qr(s) where 's' is single a float matrix.

Generators

Description

Random float vector/matrix generators. flrunif() produces uniform random values. flrnorm() produces random normal values. flrand() will accept an arbitrary generator. See the details section for more information.

Usage

flrunif(m, n, min = 0, max = 1)

flrnorm(m, n, mean = 0, sd = 1)

flrand(generator, m, n, ...)

Arguments

m, n

The dimensions of the matrix/vector. m must be specified. If n is not, then the return is a vector.
min, max

Minimum and maximum values for the uniform generator.
mean, sd

Mean and standard deviation values for the normal generator.
generator

A generating function, such as rnorm, or even something custom defined.
...

Additional arguments passed to the generator. For example, if runif is passed as generator, then you might additionally pass max=10.

Details

For flrunif() and flrnorm(), the data is produced without a double precision copy. That is, it is not (computationally) equivalent to fl(matrix(runif(...))), though the operations are conceptually the same. For these, To produce a vector instead of a matrix, leave argument n blank. Setting n=1 will produce an mx1 matrix.

For flrand(), the data is generated in double precision in 4KiB batches and copied over to a pre-allocated vector. This will be slower than generating all of the data up front and copying it, although it uses far less memory most of the time. So you can think of flrunif() and flrnorm() as highly optimized versions of flrand() for uniform and normal generators specifically.

Examples

library(float)

flrunif(10) # length 10 vector
flrunif(10, 1) # 10x1 matrix
flrunif(10, min=10, max=20)

flrand(runif, 10) # conceptually the same as flrunif(10)

x = flrnorm(10)
floor(x)

scale

Description

Center/scale a float vector/matrix.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
scale(x, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A float vector/matrix.
center, scale

Logical

Details

Only logical center and scale parameters are accepted at this time.

Value

A float matrix.

Examples

library(float)

s = flrunif(10, 3)
scale(s)

sign

Description

Sign.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
sign(x)

Arguments

x

A float vector/matrix.

Value

A float vector/matrix.

solve

Description

Solve a system of equations or invert a float matrix.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
solve(a, b, ...)

Arguments

a, b

A float vector/matrix.
...

Ignored.

Value

A float matrix if inverting. If solving a system, a float vector if given one "right hand side", and a float matrix otherwise (just like R).

Examples

library(float)

s = flrunif(10, 3)
cp = crossprod(s)
solve(cp)

y = fl(1:3)
solve(cp, y)

Special mathematical functions

Description

Special mathematical functions.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
gamma(x)

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
lgamma(x)

Arguments

x

A float vector/matrix.

Value

A float vector/matrix of the same dimensions as the input.

Examples

## Not run: 
library(float)

x = flrunif(10)
lgamma(x)

## End(Not run)

sum

Description

Sums any combination of float/numeric vector(s)/matri[x|ces].

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
sum(x, ..., na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A float matrix.
...

Additional elements (numeric/float vectors/matrices) to sum.
na.rm

should NA's be removed?

Details

If there are any elements in ..., all elements in the list will first be summed in their native precision, then converted to double precision so they can be combined with base::sum(). The final result will be cast to single precision if ... contains only integer and/or float objects. Otherwise, the return will be double precision.

Value

A single value.

Examples

library(float)
x = flrunif(10, 3)

sum(x)
sum(x, 1)

SVD

Description

SVD factorization.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
La.svd(x, nu = min(n, p), nv = min(n, p))

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
svd(x, nu = min(n, p), nv = min(n, p), LINPACK = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A float matrix.
nu, nv

The number of left/right singular vectors to return.
LINPACK

Ignored

Details

The factorization is performed by the LAPACK routine sgesdd().

Examples

library(float)

x = flrunif(10, 3)
svd(x)

sweep

Description

Sweep a vector through a float matrix.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'float32'
sweep(x, MARGIN, STATS, FUN = "-", check.margin = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

A float vector/matrix.
MARGIN

1 (rows) or 2 (columns)
STATS

Vector to sweep out.
FUN

Sweeping function; must be one of "+", "-", "*", or "/".
check.margin

Should x/STATS margin lengths be checked?
...

Theoretically these are additional arguments passed to an arbitrary function. However, we only support basic arithmetic, so they are ignored.

Details

Note that if the length of STATS does not recycle exactly across MARGIN, the results here will differ slightly from the results of base R.

Value

A matrix of the same type as the highest precision input.

Examples

library(float)

s = flrunif(10, 3)
sweep(s, 2, fl(1))

Trigonometric functions

## S4 method for signature 'float32'

Arguments

x

A float vector/matrix.

Value

A float vector/matrix of the same dimensions as the input.

Examples

## Not run: 
library(float)

x = flrunif(10)
