# random_sparse_spd_matrix¶

probnum.problems.zoo.linalg.random_sparse_spd_matrix(dim, density, chol_entry_min=0.1, chol_entry_max=1.0, random_state=None)[source]

Random sparse symmetric positive definite matrix.

Constructs a random sparse symmetric positive definite matrix for a given degree of sparsity. The matrix is constructed from its Cholesky factor $$L$$. Its diagonal is set to one and all other entries of the lower triangle are sampled from a uniform distribution with bounds [chol_entry_min, chol_entry_max]. The resulting sparse matrix is then given by $$A=LL^\top$$.

Parameters

random_spd_matrix

Generate a random symmetric positive definite matrix.

Examples

>>> from probnum.problems.zoo.linalg import random_sparse_spd_matrix
>>> sparsemat = random_sparse_spd_matrix(dim=5, density=0.1, random_state=42)
>>> sparsemat

[0.        , 1.        , 0.        , 0.        , 0.        ],
[0.        , 0.        , 1.        , 0.        , 0.24039507],
[0.        , 0.        , 0.        , 1.        , 0.        ],
