In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.
Although an explicit inverse is not necessary to estimate the vector of unknowns, it is the easiest way to estimate their accuracy, found in the diagonal of a matrix inverse (the posterior covariance matrix of the vector of unknowns). However, faster algorithms to compute only the diagonal entries of a matrix inverse are known in many cases. [19]
Lemma 1. ′ =, where ′ is the differential of . This equation means that the differential of , evaluated at the identity matrix, is equal to the trace.The differential ′ is a linear operator that maps an n × n matrix to a real number.
In mathematics, the Kronecker product, sometimes denoted by ⊗, is an operation on two matrices of arbitrary size resulting in a block matrix.It is a specialization of the tensor product (which is denoted by the same symbol) from vectors to matrices and gives the matrix of the tensor product linear map with respect to a standard choice of basis.
[1] [2] [3] That is, given an invertible matrix and the outer product of vectors and , the formula cheaply computes an updated matrix inverse (+)). The Sherman–Morrison formula is a special case of the Woodbury formula .
Matrix multiplication also does not necessarily obey the cancellation law. If AB = AC and A ≠ 0, then one must show that matrix A is invertible (i.e. has det(A) ≠ 0) before one can conclude that B = C. If det(A) = 0, then B might not equal C, because the matrix equation AX = B will not have a unique solution for a non-invertible matrix A.
Vectorization is used in matrix calculus and its applications in establishing e.g., moments of random vectors and matrices, asymptotics, as well as Jacobian and Hessian matrices. [5] It is also used in local sensitivity and statistical diagnostics. [6]
A common case is finding the inverse of a low-rank update A + UCV of A (where U only has a few columns and V only a few rows), or finding an approximation of the inverse of the matrix A + B where the matrix B can be approximated by a low-rank matrix UCV, for example using the singular value decomposition.
