Compute the pseudo-derminant of the square matrix x.
- Usage
qdet(x)- x
- a square matrix
- Result
- The pseudo-determinant (scalar) of x.
- Note: In linear algebra and statistics, the pseudo-determinant is the product of all non-zero eigenvalues of a square matrix. It coincides with the regular determinant when the matrix is non-singular.
