I would like to find the rank of a matrix using R. Looking through a list
of commands it seems that the command qr should do the job. Checking a
simple example gave me the wrong answer. Here is the example:
> A <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
> A <- matrix(A, nrow=2, ncol=3)
> A
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 3 5
[2,] 2 4 6
> qr(A)$rank
[1] 3
The correct answer is two.
I should add that I am using the mac version of R. Any suggestions? ---
