When I perform QR decomposition on a 3x2 matrix A in Julia, it gives a 3x3 matrix Q. Is there any way I can get a "thin" version of this QR, where it returns a Q that is 3x2 (same dimensions as matrix A)? My goal is just to get an orthonormal basis for the column space of A, so I don't need a 3x3 matrix Q.
This can be achieved with Matrix(qr(A)). qr doesn't return matrices, but rather returns an object that can multiply by other matrices or easily extract the thin or full Q matrix.
