Dear all, R docs differ in how the name Cholesky/Choleski is written. Wikipedia at least has "Cholesky" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9-Louis_Cholesky ); and this is also the only form that I have seen in the literature (e.g. Golub/Van Loan) The form "Choleski" comes up in chol.Rd, solve.Rd and chol2inv.Rd (plus in a number of comments in C-code): src/library/stats/src/splines.c 38: * Choleski is more efficient. 60: * equations to determine them. Either Choleski or Gaussian 279: /* Choleski decomposition */ src/library/base/man/chol.Rd 9:\title{The Choleski Decomposition} 11: Compute the Choleski factorization of a real symmetric 28: The upper triangular factor of the Choleski decomposition, i.e., the 45: If \code{pivot = TRUE}, then the Choleski decomposition of a positive src/library/base/man/solve.Rd 68: \code{\link{chol2inv}} for inverting from the Choleski factor src/library/base/man/chol2inv.Rd 8:\title{Inverse from Choleski (or QR) Decomposition} 10: Invert a symmetric, positive definite square matrix from its Choleski 19: contain the Choleski decomposition of the matrix to be inverted.} 21: Choleski decomposition.} 26: The inverse of the matrix whose Choleski decomposition was given. src/appl/uncmin.c 42: * CC--- choldc(nr,n,a,diagmx,tol,addmax) is ``choleski + tolerance'' thank you & kind regards Enrico -- Enrico Schumann Lucerne, Switzerland http://enricoschumann.net
