cov_to_chol: Cholesky root of covariance matrix

In oeli: Utilities for Developing Data Science Software

Cholesky root of covariance matrix

Description

These functions compute the Cholesky root elements of a covariance matrix and, conversely, build a covariance matrix from its Cholesky root elements.

Usage

cov_to_chol(cov, unique = TRUE)

chol_to_cov(chol)

unique_chol(chol)

Arguments

cov	[matrix()] A covariance matrix. It can also be the zero matrix, in which case the Cholesky root is defined as the zero matrix.
unique	[logical(1)] Ensure that the Cholesky decomposition is unique by restricting the diagonal elements to be positive?
chol	[numeric()] Cholesky root elements.

Value

For cov_to_chol a numeric vector of Cholesky root elements.

For chol_to_cov a covariance matrix.

Examples
