invmat: Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse of a Matrix

Description

Calculates the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of a square matrix X.

Usage

invmat(X)

Value

The Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse for matrix X.

Arguments

X

A square matrix.

Author

Gerta Rücker , Guido Schwarzer

Details

This function is used by default in R package netmeta to calculate the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse L\(^+\) of the Laplacian matrix L (Rücker, 2012):

L\(^+\) = (X - J / n)\(^{-1}\) + J / n with identity matrix J of dimension nxn.
