Cholesky decomposition of a hyper inverse Wishart matrix
超逆 Wishart 矩阵的 Cholesky 分解
The canonical parameter of a covariance selection model is the inverse covariance matrix [sum ]-1 whose zero pattern gives the conditional independence structure characterising the model. In this paper we consider the upper triangular matrix Φ obtained by the Cholesky decomposition [sum ]-1 = ΦTΦ. This provides an interesting alternative parameterisation of decomposable models since its upper triangle has the same zero structure as [sum ]-1 and its elements have an…
