A new Cholesky factorization of the inverse covariance matrix can be performed with fully parallel matrix-vector operations, instead of more costly back substitutions. This factorization reformulates the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury matrix inverse identity as a downdating problem. Givens rotations provide triangularized factors of the inverse data covariance matrix, and the final adaptive solution is obtained after two triangular matrix-vector products. This new factorization algorithm operates in the voltage (or square root) domain to maintain the numerical robustness of earlier factorization techniques. Simulation results show that this algorithm is highly stable and can yield more accurate results at lower processor precisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
