.
## S3 method for class 'pdMat': solve(a, b, ...)
a |
an object inheriting from class pdMat , representing
a positive definite matrix. |
b |
this argument is only included for consistency with the generic function and is not used in this method function. |
... |
some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method. |
a pdMat
object similar to a
, but with coefficients
corresponding to the inverse of the positive-definite matrix
represented by a
.
