Description

Samples an upper triangular Cholesky square root of a mirror-Wishart distributed random variable.

Usage

1

Arguments

nu

A numeric. The degrees of freedom in the mirror-Wishart.

V

A matrix. The inverse of the scale matrix in the mirror-Wishart.

Details

Let X be mirror-Wishart(ν, V^-1). Then This code returns an upper triangular C where X = CC'. This function is used primarily during the Gibbs updates of the inverse of the lower triangular Cholesky square root of the component covariance matrices in equi_mcmc.

Value

C An upper triangular matrix such that C %*% t(C) is a sample from the mirror-Wishart(nu, V ^ -1) distribution.
