Test for symmetric structure

Check if an object is inherently symmetric (its structure, not its data)

symmetric(x, ...)
# S3 method for class 'ff'
symmetric(x, ...)
# Default S3 method
symmetric(x, ...)
# S3 method for class 'dist'
symmetric(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an ff or ram object

...

further arguments (not used)

Details

ff matrices can be declared symmetric at creation time. Compatibility function symmetric.default returns FALSE, symmetric.dist returns TRUE.

Value

TRUE or FALSE
