cov_matrix_constrain_lkj() [4/5]

template<typename T , require_var_vector_t< T > * = nullptr>

var_value< Eigen::MatrixXd > stan::math::cov_matrix_constrain_lkj	(	const T &	x,
		size_t	k
	)

Return the covariance matrix of the specified dimensionality derived from constraining the specified vector of unconstrained values.

The input vector must be of length \(k \choose 2 + k\). The first \(k \choose 2\) values in the input represent unconstrained (partial) correlations and the last \(k\) are unconstrained standard deviations of the dimensions.

The transform scales the correlation matrix transform defined in corr_matrix_constrain(Matrix, size_t) with the constrained deviations.

Template Parameters

T	type of input vector (must be a var_value<S> where S inherits from EigenBase)

Parameters

x	Input vector of unconstrained partial correlations and standard deviations.
k	Dimensionality of returned covariance matrix.

Returns

Covariance matrix derived from the unconstrained partial correlations and deviations.
