CALL RZLIND (lindep, rup, bup, r <, sing> <, b> );
The RZLIND subroutine computes rank-deficient linear least squares solutions, complete orthogonal factorizations, and Moore-Penrose inverses.
The RZLIND subroutine returns the following values:
is a scalar that contains the number of linear dependencies that are recognized in (number of zeroed rows in rup[n,n]
).
is the updated upper triangular matrix that contains zero rows corresponding to zero recognized diagonal elements in the original .
is the matrix of right-hand sides that is updated simultaneously with . If b is not specified, bup is not accessible.
The input arguments to the RZLIND subroutine are as follows:
specifies the upper triangular matrix . Only the upper triangle of r is used; the lower triangle can contain any information.
is an optional scalar that specifies a relative singularity criterion for the diagonal elements of . The diagonal element is considered zero if , where is the Euclidean norm of column of . If the value provided for sing is not positive, the default value sing is used, where is the relative machine precision.
specifies the optional matrix of right-hand sides that have to be updated or downdated simultaneously with .
The singularity test used in the RZLIND subroutine is a relative test that uses the Euclidean norms of the columns of . The diagonal element is considered as nearly zero (and the ith row is zeroed out) if the following test is true:
Providing an argument sing is the same as omitting the argument sing in the RZLIND call. In this case, the default is sing, where is the relative machine precision. If is computed by the QR decomposition , then the Euclidean norm of column i of is the same (except for rounding errors) as the Euclidean norm of column i of .
Consider the following application of the RZLIND subroutine. Assume that you want to compute the upper triangular Cholesky factor of the positive semidefinite matrix ,
The Cholesky factor of a positive definite matrix is unique (with the exception of the sign of its rows). However, the Cholesky factor of a positive semidefinite (singular) matrix can have many different forms.
In the following example, is a matrix with linearly dependent columns and with , , and .
proc iml; a = {1 1 0 0 1 0 0, 1 1 0 0 1 0 0, 1 1 0 0 0 1 0, 1 1 0 0 0 0 1, 1 0 1 0 1 0 0, 1 0 1 0 0 1 0, 1 0 1 0 0 1 0, 1 0 1 0 0 0 1, 1 0 0 1 1 0 0, 1 0 0 1 0 1 0, 1 0 0 1 0 0 1, 1 0 0 1 0 0 1}; a = a || uniform(j(nrow(a),1,1)); aa = a` * a; m = nrow(a); n = ncol(a);

The result of the RUPDT subroutine can be transformed into the result of the ROOT function by left applications of Givens rotations to zero out the remaining significant elements of rows with small diagonal elements. Applying the RZLIND subroutine to the upper triangular result of the RUPDT subroutine generates a Cholesky factor with rows of zeros that correspond to diagonal elements that are small. This gives the same result as the ROOT function (except for the sign of rows) if its singularity criterion recognizes the same linear dependencies.

Notice that the residual sum of squares is minimal, but the solution is not of minimum Euclidean length.
You can solve the rank-deficient least squares problem by using the result of the ROOT function to obtain the vector piv which indicates the zero rows in the upper triangular matrix . The following statements define a function that returns an index vector:
start PivotR(R); n = ncol(R); piv = j(n,1,.); z = j(n,1,.); /* temp storage for index of zero diagonals */ j1 = 0; j2 = 0; /* detect diagonal elements that are numerically zero */ do i = 1 to n; small = 1000*constant("maceps")*norm(R[,i]); if R[i,i] > small then do; j1 = j1 + 1; piv[j1] = i; end; else do; j2 = j2 + 1; z[j2] = i; end; end; if j2>0 then piv[(n-j2+1):n] = z[1:j2]; return( piv ); finish; r1 = root(aa); nr = n - lind; piv = PivotR(r1);
Now compute by solving the equation .
r = r1[piv[1:nr],piv[1:nr]]; x = trisolv(2,r,ab[piv[1:nr]]); x = trisolv(1,r,x); x3 = shape(0,n,1); x3[piv] = x // j(lind,1,0.); len3 = x3` * x3; ss3 = ssq(a * x3 - b); x3 = x3`; print ss3 len3, x3[format=best6.];

The result should be the same as that given by the GINV function if the singularity criterion is selected correspondingly. Since you cannot specify the criterion for the GINV function, the singular value decomposition approach can be important for applications where the GINV function uses an unsuitable criterion. The slight discrepancy between the values of SS1 and SS2 is due to rounding that occurs in the statement that computes the matrix GA.
