```{r data generation, echo = FALSE, results = "hide"} ## DATA GENERATION ## number of rows/columns n <- sample(3:4, 1) ## elements on lower triangle (and diagonal) m <- n * (n + 1)/2 L <- matrix(data = 0, nrow = n, ncol = n) diag(L) <- sample(1:5, n, replace = TRUE) L[lower.tri(L)] <- sample(-5:5, m-n, replace = TRUE) ## matrix A for which the Cholesky decomposition should be computed A <- L %*% t(L) ## rnadomly generate questions/solutions/explanations mc <- matrix_to_mchoice( L, ## correct matrix y = sample(-10:10, 5, replace = TRUE), ## random values for comparison lower = TRUE, ## only lower triangle/diagonal name = "\\ell", ## name for matrix elements restricted = TRUE) ## assure at least one correct and one wrong solution ``` Question ======== For the matrix $$ \begin{aligned} A &= `r toLatex(A, escape = FALSE)`. \end{aligned} $$ compute the matrix $L = (\ell_{ij})_{1 \leq i,j \leq `r n`}$ from the Cholesky decomposition $A = L L^\top$. Which of the following statements are true? ```{r questionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"} answerlist(mc$questions, markup = "markdown") ``` Solution ======== The decomposition yields $$ \begin{aligned} L &= `r toLatex(L, escape = FALSE)` \end{aligned} $$ and hence: ```{r solutionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"} answerlist( ifelse(mc$solutions, "True", "False"), mc$explanations, markup = "markdown") ``` Meta-information ================ extype: mchoice exsolution: `r mchoice2string(mc$solutions)` exname: Cholesky decomposition
