\title{Half-vectorization}
\description{
This function returns the half-vectorization of an input matrix as a column vector.
}
\usage{
vech(x)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an input matrix.}
}
\details{
The half-vectorization of an input matrix consists of the elements in the lower triangle of the matrix, including the elements along the diagonal of the matrix, as a column vector. The column vector is created by traversing the matrix in column-major order.
