Correlation matrix is not positive definite. The code I'm using is as follows: T_W58 <- read.csv("Teacher_Wave 58.csv") T58_Network <- estimateNetwork(T_W58, default = "EBICglasso") My understanding was that in the past, the function has found the nearest positive definite matrix, s...
positive definitepseudo-likelihoodpseudo-posteriorSuppose estimates are available for correlations between pairs of variables but that the matrix of correlation estimates is not positive definite. In various applications, having a valid correlation matrix is important in connection with follow-up analyses ...

However, the result of this limitation is not realistic and cannot be applied to most applications. Another existing method may produce the realistic correlation matrix that is not positive-semi definite. To handle this problem, we expand the existing algorithm to obtain the realistic implied ...
A fundamental characteristic of the dependence is the set of coefficients ρij—the simple correlation coefficients between Xi and Xj—which form the correlation matrix (ρij) (obviously, ρij = ρij and ρkk = 1). The multiple correlation coefficient serves as a measure of the linear ...
Using the syntax for DATA and the MODEL below to model drinking behavior, I get the warning "WARNING: THE LATENT VARIABLE COVARIANCE MATRIX (PSI) IS NOT POSITIVE DEFINITE..." and TECH4 shows a correlation greater than 1 between iu and iy. As per my understanding, the syntax splits the...
If a fixed or pattern matrix is given for the stddev() option, the base alternative and scale alternative are implied by the standard deviations and correlations in the matrix specifications, and they need not be specified in the basealternative() and scalealternative() options. altwise ...
Clearly, S1(hphase(1))=v0 is the volume fraction of the matrix phase, and S1(hphase(2))=vI=1−v0 is the volume fraction of the fiber phase. However, additional information is brought on the microstructure by S2hphase(2);τ as the probability to have two material points separated ...
A fit was accepted if the algorithm converged, the covariance matrix was positive definite, and the confidence value corresponding to the χ2 and NDF was larger than 0.1%. An example fit is shown in Fig. 4. To estimate the statistical uncertainties of the fit parameters, the Minos method ...
aSuch aspects can be solved; in particular, there are methods to regularise correlations, so as to obtain the closest possible valid (positive semi-definite) correlation matrix. However, this is time-consuming and may be viewed as being too complex with simpler methods preferred, especially if...
