Does R optimise the order of matrix multiplications? -

-

if multiplying 3 matrices together, abc. depending on size of matrices may more efficient perform either (ab)c or a(bc). if evaluate:

a %*% b %*% c

will optimised in anyway?

thanks colonel beauvel setting me on right path - test it. using example wikipedia , scaling suitably:

> mult <- 100 > ar <- 10 * mult > ac <- 30 * mult > br <- 30 * mult > bc <- 5 * mult > cr <- 5 * mult > cc <- 60 * mult >  > <- matrix(rnorm(ar * ac), ar, ac) > b <- matrix(rnorm(br * bc), br, bc) > c <- matrix(rnorm(cr * cc), cr, cc) >  > system.time({ (a %*% b) %*% c })     user  system elapsed      3.01    0.00    3.01  > system.time({ %*% (b %*% c) })     user  system elapsed      25.34    0.03   25.37  > system.time({ %*% b %*% c })     user  system elapsed      2.98    0.00    2.98  > system.time({ t(c) %*% t(b) %*% t(a) })    user  system elapsed    25.61    0.03   25.64

incidently - r evaluates left right.

How to run C# code using mono without Xamarin in Android? -

i want create program uses mono runtime run c# code (binary not application). i copied libmono.so unity app , i'm write code using documentation: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/embedding/ and it's working have problems references can access classes mscorlib.dll , have problems system.reflection.assembly class throwing exception, when print console see: system.missingmethodexception: method not found: 'system.reflection.assembly.op_inequality' can fix it? can use mono runtime in c binary on android? ps. i'm using android tests. edit: found solution loading libraries, need set environment variable mono_path libraries path. but have still problems assembly class. the system.missingmethodexception error have seems .net profile mismatch error, 1 explained here . can use mono runtime in c binary on android? yes, using ndk guess. there alternatives can use instead of rolling own, such xmadevlab .

i trying create ssh client using c#. using tamir.sharpssh library. having issues sending command , getting appropriate response server. the way have been testing sending on ls command, followed cd.. command, followed ls command again -- see whether or not cd.. command being executed properly. however, there no difference between first ls command , second ls command. not entirely sure doing wrong. perhaps using wrong ssh type. have provided code , output getting. have added output expect. using tamir.sharpssh; namespace sshnetexample { class program { static void main(string[] args) { sshexec ssh = null; try { console.write("-connecting..."); ssh = new sshexec(host, username, password); ssh.connect(); console.writeline("ok ({0}/{1})", ssh.cipher, ssh.mac); console.writeline("server version={0}, client versio...

python - Specify path of savefig with pylab or matplotlib -

-
i struggling on how find correct way specify save path (or repository) when calling function savefig in matplotlib or pylab. i tried several syntaxes, everytime python console returns : filenotfounderror: [errno 2] no such file or directory: '../mydocs/resource/frames/myimage.png' currently, have written following : pylab.savefig('../mydocs/resource/frames/myimage.png') does know how it? thanks in advance! the tilde operator , variable $home entered strings , therefore not function while saving. have provide either relative path (as did) or provide full path. eg. pylab.savefig("/home/username/desktop/myfig.png") .
