	Cholesky decomposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the Cholesky decomposition, named after André-Louis Cholesky, is a matrix decomposition of a symmetric positive-definite matrix into a lower triangular matrix and the transpose of the lower triangular matrix.
		When it is applicable, the Cholesky decomposition is twice as efficient as the LU decomposition.
		The Cholesky decomposition is mainly used for the numerical solution of linear equations Ax = b.

	LU decomposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linear algebra, the LU decomposition is a matrix decomposition which writes a matrix as the product of a lower and upper triangular matrix.
		This decomposition is used in numerical analysis to solve systems of linear equations or find the inverse of a matrix.
		Furthermore, computing the Cholesky decomposition is more efficient and numerically more stable than computing the LU decomposition.

	Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition is a factorization of a matrix into some canonical form.
		There are several different decompositions of a given matrix and the decomposition used depends on the problem we want to solve as well as the matrix to be factorized.
		In numerical analysis for example different decompositions are used to implement efficient matrix algorithms.

	Sparse matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To reduce the memory requirements and the number of arithmetic operations used during an algorithm it is useful to minimize the fill-in by switching rows and columns in the matrix.
		The symbolic Cholesky decomposition can be used to calculate the worst possible fill-in before doing the actual Cholesky decomposition.
		There are other methods than the Cholesky decomposition in use.

		We propose to smooth the Cholesky decomposition of a raw spectral estimate instead, which allows different smoothness for different elements.
		The final spectral estimate is reconstructed from the smoothed Cholesky elements, which is consistent and positive definite.
		More importantly, the Cholesky decomposition matrix of the spectrum can be used as a transfer function in generating time series whose spectrum is identical to the given spectrum at the Fourier frequencies.

	Matrix Decompositions
		The LU decomposition of a matrix is frequently used as part of a Gaussian elimination process for solving a matrix equation.
		The first element is a combination of upper and lower triangular matrices, the second element is a vector specifying rows used for pivoting (a permutation vector which is equivalent to the permutation matrix), and the third element is an estimate of the condition number.
		This is often referred to as the thin QR decomposition, see for example Golub and van Loan.

		When A is not symmetric and positive definite, [M-5] lusolve(), [M-5] qrsolve(), and [M-5] svsolve() are alternatives based on the LU decomposition, the QR decomposition, and the singular value decomposition (SVD).
		A is declared to be singular if [M-5] cholesky() finds that A is not positive definite, or if A is found to be positive definite, if any diagonal element of G is less than or equal to eta.
		In the numerical method used, two checks are made: cholesky() makes one and then the eta rule is applied to ensure numerical stability in the use of the result cholesky() returns.

		However, it has the added advantage that the parameters are meaningful and interpretable as the coefficients of the observables and their innovations rather than as the factor loadings of some latent factors.
		The key theoretical tool used is the modified Cholesky decomposition of a covariance matrix rather than its traditional spectral decomposition.
		Regressogram of the components of the modified Cholesky decomposition is used, in a manner similar to the correlogram in time series, to identify parsimonious models for the large number of parameters employing parametric, non-parametric and Bayesian methods.

		The Cholesky decomposition can only be carried out when all the eigenvalues of the matrix are positive.

	Square root of a matrix (Cleve Moler)
		The classic Cholesky decomposition is lower triangular (see Householder, The Theory of Matrices in Numerical Analysis) LL' = A But, it was Pete's idea with LINPACK to use an upper triangular decomposition* so that the Cholesky algorithm would be column oriented.
		So, we have at least three different candidates for square root -- S, L and R. If A is diagonal, with positive diagonal entries, we can take the positive scalar square roots of the diagonal entries.
		There is a confusion between the lower and upper Cholesky decompositions.

		For a symmetric, positive definite matrix A, the Cholesky decomposition is an lower triangular matrix L so that A = L*L'.
		For a symmetric, positive definite matrix A, the Right Cholesky decomposition is an upper triangular matrix R so that A = R'*R. This constructor computes R with the Fortran inspired column oriented algorithm used in LINPACK and MATLAB.
		In Java, we suspect a row oriented, lower triangular decomposition is faster.

		Cholesky(mat) computes the Cholesky decomposition of a square symmetric positive-definite matrix mat and returns a lower-triangular matrix L such that mat=L×L
		Notes: Cholesky returns a lower-triangular matrix instead of an upper-triangular one, because trying to transpose the lower-triangular matrix results in conj() being applied to all symbolic elements, which looks ugly.
		Note: Jordan decomposition is often used for evaluating symbolic functions of matrices, such as matrix exponentials.
