Jan 23, 2014 at 7:11 comment added Purple Thank you for your answer.In Matlab Programming, the "chol" command can be used to simply apply this to only a positive definite matrix.When it comes to a positive semi-definite matrix,“chol” fails.I want to ask if there any command in Matlab Programming that can be used to a positive semi-definite matrix?
Jan 22, 2014 at 20:08 comment added Dima Pasechnik en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesky_decomposition has a proof that yes, indeed, it is correct, a p.s.d. R will have a Cholesky decomposition.
Jan 22, 2014 at 2:41 comment added Purple It is no doubt that R has a Cholesky decomposition when R is a positive definite matrix.I want to ask Whether R has a Cholesky decomposition when R is a positive semi-definite?Thank you for your patience~~
Jan 21, 2014 at 15:55 comment added Dima Pasechnik Do you mean to ask why R has a Cholesky decomposition if and only if R is positive semidefinite?
Jan 20, 2014 at 11:46 comment added Purple excuse for my bad english."There are two assumptions on the specified correlation matrix R. The first is a general assumption that R is a possible correlation matrix, i.e. that it is a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix with 1’s on the main diagonal. While implementing the algorithm there is no need to check positive semi-definiteness directly, as we do a Cholesky decomposition of the matrix R at the very start. If R is not positive semi-definite, the Cholesky decomposition will fail."
Jan 20, 2014 at 11:28 comment added Dima Pasechnik "that how a positive semi-definite be done for Cholesky decomposition"??? What do you mean?
Jan 20, 2014 at 10:39 comment added Purple THANK YOU .but here I want to know if a positive semi-definite can be done for Cholesky decomposition? and how?
