sqrt_mat

sqrt_mat performs the square root of a matrix only for square symmetric matrices
This function should not be used directly.

A variety of descriptive multivariate analyses with the singular value decomposition,
such as principal components analysis, correspondence analysis, and multidimensional scaling.
