Fat diagonal matrices occur when we combine two dimensions of a data set along one edge of a matrix. For example, trade-flow data in the decompr and gvc package have each country-industry combination occur on each edge of the matrix.
A fat diagonal matrix looks like this.

function, which tries behave similarly to the diag function
from the base package, but then with diagonals being
fat.
We can also use the function to assign values to the diagonal.

The diagonal of a matrix can also be extracted.
fatdiag(m, steps=3)## [1] 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5We can also specify the size of the block in stead of the number of steps.
