A Cautionary Note on Generalized Linear Models for Covariance of Unbalanced Longitudinal Data [PDF]
Missing data in longitudinal studies can create enormous challenges in data analysis when coupled with the positive-definiteness constraint on a covariance matrix.

On some positive definite functions [PDF]
We study the function $(1 - \|x\|)\slash (1 - \|x\|^r),$ and its reciprocal, on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n,$ with respect to properties like being positive definite, conditionally positive definite, and infinitely divisible.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative typological analysis of the means of expressing the category “Definiteness / Indefiniteness” in German, Tatar and Russian languages and, building on this analysis, to develop a system of exercises ...

Computational geometry of positive definiteness
AbstractIn matrix computations, such as in factoring matrices, Hermitian and, preferably, positive definite elements are occasionally required. Related problems can often be cast as those of existence of respective elements in a matrix subspace. For two dimensional matrix subspaces, first results in this regard are due to Finsler.

A new positive definite geometric mean of two positive definite matrices
AbstractWe introduce and study a new positive definite (in certain singular cases, positive semidefinite) geometric mean of two positive definite (under certain conditions, positive semidefinite) matrices.

On Recursive Edit Distance Kernels with Application to Time Series Classification [PDF]
This paper proposes some extensions to the work on kernels dedicated to string or time series global alignment based on the aggregation of scores obtained by local alignments.

Extension of positive definite functions
Let $ \subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon - \to\mathbb{C}$, where $ - =\{x-y\colon x,y\in \}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $F$ to have an extension to a continuous positive definite function defined on the entire Euclidean space ...

Negative volatility spillovers in the unrestricted ECCC-GARCH model [PDF]
Copyright @ 2010 Cambridge University Press.This paper considers a formulation of the extended constant or time-varying conditional correlation GARCH model that allows for volatility feedback of either the positive or negative sign.

Remedies for Misapplications of Sylvester’s Criterion: A Pedagogic Illustration
Sylvester’s criterion, which verifies the positive definiteness of any real symmetric matrix by examining the signs of all leading principal minors, is an excellent analytical tool.

Positive definiteness and positive differences
AbstractA previous inequality [2] in certain context, which holds in the application to the monotonicity of correlations in classical discrete Heisenberg ferromagnets with 2-dimensional spin [3], is extended to positive definiteness of a function on a group.
