This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-sparsem package of SparseM. The SparseM package provides basic linear algebra for sparse matrices and was written by Roger Koenker and Pin Ng. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g. http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'SparseM' to 'r-cran-sparsem' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.
