Abstract: | Let the positive definite matrix A have a Cholesky factorizationA= RTR. For a given vector xsuppose that ? =A - xxT has a Choleskyfactorization ? = T.This paper considers an algorithm for computing from R and x and an extension for removing a row from the QR factorizationof a regression problem. It is shown that the algorithm is stablein the presence of rounding errors. However, it is also shownthat the matrix can be a very ill-conditioned function of R and x. |
