PosDefSymmMatrix-class {distr}

Positive-[Semi-]definite, symmetric matrices

Description

The class of positive-[semi-]definite, symmetric matrices.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("PosSemDefSymmMatrix", ...) resp. new("PosDefSymmMatrix", ...). More frequently they are created via the generating functions PosSemDefSymmMatrix resp. PosDefSymmMatrix.
