scipy-psdm 0.1.0

transform an ill-conditioned quadratic matrix to a positive semidefinite matrix

scipy-psdm

Transform an ill-conditioned quadratic matrix into a positive semi-definite matrix.

Installation

The scipy-psdm git repo is available as PyPi package

pip install scipy-psdm

Usage

Lurie-Goldberg Algorithm to transform an ill-conditioned quadratic matrix into a positive semi-definite matrix.

import scipy_psdm as psdm
import numpy as np

# A matrix with subjectively set correlations
mat = [[ 1.   , -0.948,  0.099, -0.129],
       [-0.948,  1.   , -0.591,  0.239],
       [ 0.099, -0.591,  1.   ,  0.058],
       [-0.129,  0.239,  0.058,  1.   ]]
mat = np.array(mat)

# Convert to a positive semi-definite matrix
rho = psdm.luriegold(mat)
print(rho.round(3))

Generate correlated random numbers

import scipy_psdm as psdm
X, rho = psdm.randcorr(n_obs=100, n_vars=5, random_state=42)

# compare
import numpy as np
print(rho.round(3))
print(np.corrcoef(X, rowvar=False).round(3))

Commands

Install a virtual environment

python3.6 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel twine
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

(If your git repo is stored in a folder with whitespaces, then don't use the subfolder .venv. Use an absolute path without whitespaces.)

Python commands

• Start virtual env: source .venv/bin/activate
• Jupyter for the examples: jupyter lab
• Check syntax: flake8 --ignore=F401 --exclude=$(grep -v '^#' .gitignore | xargs | sed -e 's/ /,/g')
• Run Unit Tests: pytest
• Upload to PyPi with twine: python setup.py sdist && twine upload -r pypi dist/*

Clean up

find . -type f -name "*.pyc" | xargs rm
find . -type d -name "__pycache__" | xargs rm -r
rm -r .pytest_cache
rm -r .venv
