Class QRDecomposition

    QR Decomposition.

    For an m-by-n matrix A with m >= n, the QR decomposition is an m-by-n orthogonal matrix Q and an n-by-n upper triangular matrix R so that A = Q*R.

    The QR decompostion always exists, even if the matrix does not have full rank, so the constructor will never fail. The primary use of the QR decomposition is in the least squares solution of nonsquare systems of simultaneous linear equations. This will fail if isFullRank() returns false.

        Return the Householder vectors
        Returns:
        Lower trapezoidal matrix whose columns define the reflections

        Return the upper triangular factor
        Returns:
        R

      • solve

        public Matrix solve​(Matrix B)
        Least squares solution of A*X = B
        Parameters:
        B - A Matrix with as many rows as A and any number of columns.
        Returns:
        X that minimizes the two norm of Q*R*X-B.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - Matrix row dimensions must agree.
        RuntimeException - Matrix is rank deficient.
