numpy.matlib.eye#

matlib.eye(n, M=None, k=0, dtype=<class 'float'>, order='C')[source]#

Return a matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Parameters:

nint: Number of rows in the output.
Mint, optional: Number of columns in the output, defaults to n.
kint, optional: Index of the diagonal: 0 refers to the main diagonal, a positive value refers to an upper diagonal, and a negative value to a lower diagonal.
dtypedtype, optional: Data-type of the returned matrix.
order{‘C’, ‘F’}, optional: Whether the output should be stored in row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) order in memory.

Returns:

Imatrix: A n x M matrix where all elements are equal to zero, except for the k-th diagonal, whose values are equal to one.
