Scala Data Analysis Cookbook

Working with vectors

There are subtle yet powerful differences between Breeze vectors and Scala's own scala.collection.Vector. As we'll see in this recipe, Breeze vectors have a lot of functions that are linear algebra specific, and the more important thing to note here is that Breeze's vector is a Scala wrapper over netlib-java and most calls to the vector's API delegates the call to it.

Vectors are one of the core components in Breeze. They are containers of homogenous data. In this recipe, we'll first see how to create vectors and then move on to various data manipulation functions to modify those vectors.

In this recipe, we will look at various operations on vectors. This recipe has been organized in the form of the following sub-recipes:
