\title{Methods for the qr generic} 
\description{
  The \code{"Matrix"} package provides methods for the QR decomposition
  of  special classes of matrices.  The generic function is
  \code{\link[base]{qr}} but methods defined in this package can take
  extra arguments.  In particular there is an option for determining a
  fill-reducing permutation of the columns of a sparse, rectangular matrix.
