  <dc:title>Tile-Based Sparse Cholesky Factorization and Selected Inverse</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package sTiles version 2026.9.4</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Interface to the 'sTiles' framework for tile-based sparse Cholesky
    factorization: log-determinants, selected inverse (marginal variances) and
    triangular solves, with symbolic reuse so that repeated factorization of
    matrices sharing one sparsity pattern pays the ordering cost only once, as
    in a hyperparameter sweep. The compiled glue in this package resolves its
    symbols at run time against the 'sTiles' solver library ('libstiles'),
    which is a separate component distributed under its own terms and is not
    part of this package. Install it once with 'sTiles_install_library()', or
    point the package at a copy you already have with the 'STILES_LIB'
    environment variable.</dc:description>
