list_kern_to_inv: Compute an inverse covariance matrix for multiple individuals
Description
Compute the inverse covariance matrices associated with all individuals
in the database, taking into account their specific inputs and
hyper-parameters.
Usage
list_kern_to_inv(db, kern, hp, pen_diag, deriv = NULL)
Value
A named list containing all of the inverse covariance matrices.
Arguments
- db
A tibble or data frame of input data. Required column: 'ID'.
Suggested column: 'Input' (for indicating the reference input).
- kern
A kernel function.
- hp
A tibble or data frame, containing the hyper-parameters associated
with each individual.
- pen_diag
A number. A jitter term, added on the diagonal to prevent
numerical issues when inverting nearly singular matrices.
- deriv
A character, indicating according to which hyper-parameter the
derivative should be computed. If NULL (default), the function simply returns
the list of covariance matrices.
