Computes the determinant (or its logarithm) of a real symmetric or complex
Hermitian Matrix from its eigenvalue decomposition.
.LB Matrix
USAGE:
det.eigen.Hermitian(x, logarithm=T)
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
x
an object of class
"eigen.Hermitian" representing
the eigenvalue decomposition of a real symmetric or
complex Hermitian matrix.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
logarithm
a logical variable indicating whether or not the logarithm of the modulus of
the determinant should be returned rather than the determinant itself.
The default is to return the logarithm.
VALUE:
returns an object of class
"det" .
