helmert(n, full=False)

This has applications in statistics, compositional or simplicial analysis, and in Aitchison geometry.

Parameters

n : int

The size of the array to create.

full : bool, optional

If True the (n, n) ndarray will be returned. Otherwise the submatrix that does not include the first row will be returned. Default: False.

Returns

M : ndarray

The Helmert matrix. The shape is (n, n) or (n-1, n) depending on the :None:None:`full` argument.

Create an Helmert matrix of order n.

Examples

>>> from scipy.linalg import helmert
... helmert(5, full=True)
array([[ 0.4472136 ,  0.4472136 ,  0.4472136 ,  0.4472136 ,  0.4472136 ],
       [ 0.70710678, -0.70710678,  0.        ,  0.        ,  0.        ],
       [ 0.40824829,  0.40824829, -0.81649658,  0.        ,  0.        ],
       [ 0.28867513,  0.28867513,  0.28867513, -0.8660254 ,  0.        ],
       [ 0.2236068 ,  0.2236068 ,  0.2236068 ,  0.2236068 , -0.89442719]])

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
