Geometric optimisation on positive definite matrices for elliptically contoured distributions
Hermitian positive definite (hpd) matrices recur throughout machine learning, statistics, and optimisation. This paper develops (conic) geometric optimisation on the cone of hpd matrices, which allows us to globally optimise a large class of nonconvex functions of hpd matrices. Specifically, we first use the Riemannian manifold structure of the hpd cone for studying functions that are nonconvex...
متن کاملA Differential Geometric Approach to the Geometric Mean of Symmetric Positive-Definite Matrices
In this paper we introduce metric-based means for the space of positive-definite matrices. The mean associated with the Euclidean metric of the ambient space is the usual arithmetic mean. The mean associated with the Riemannian metric corresponds to the geometric mean. We discuss some invariance properties of the Riemannian mean and we use differential geometric tools to give a characterization...
متن کاملDDtBe for Band Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
We present a new parallel factorization for band symmetric positive definite (s.p.d) matrices and show some of its applications. Let A be a band s.p.d matrix of order n and half bandwidth m. We show how to factor A as A =DDt Be using approximately 4nm2 jp parallel operations where p =21: is the number of processors. Having this factorization, we improve the time to solve Ax = b by a factor of m...
متن کاملKernel Density Estimation on Spaces of Gaussian Distributions and Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
This paper analyses the kernel density estimation on spaces of Gaussian distributions endowed with different metrics. Explicit expressions of kernels are provided for the case of the 2-Wasserstein metric on multivariate Gaussian distributions and for the Fisher metric on multivariate centred distributions. Under the Fisher metric, the space of multivariate centred Gaussian distributions is isom...
متن کاملApproximate Joint Diagonalization and Geometric Mean of Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
We explore the connection between two problems that have arisen independently in the signal processing and related fields: the estimation of the geometric mean of a set of symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices and their approximate joint diagonalization (AJD). Today there is a considerable interest in estimating the geometric mean of a SPD matrix set in the manifold of SPD matrices endowed...
