Description
Calculates the correlation matrix of the data in the matrix argument.
Returns
The correlation matrix for the specified matrix.

Messages
<<Distance between rows(row1, row2)
Returns the distance between two the two specified rows in the KDTable. The distance applies to removed and inserted rows as well.
<<K nearest rows(stop, <position>)
Returns a matrix. Position is a point that is described as a row vector for the coordinate of a row, or as the number of a row. If position is not specified, returns the n nearest rows and distances to all rows. If position is specified, returns the n nearest rows and distances to either a point or a row. Stop is either n or {n, limit}. The limit parameter limits the number of rows that will be found. It can be specified one of two ways: a number, like 5, means return the 5 nearest rows. A list, like {5,10}, means return up to 5 nearest rows, stopping when the distance of 10 is exceeded. In the second case, the last row may have a distance greater than 10. Since the command continues until it finds the closest row beyond the stop radius, this point is also returned. This can be especially useful if there are no rows within the radius.

When rows are removed or inserted, the row indices do not change. You can remove and re-insert only rows that are in the KDTable object. If you need different rows, construct a new KDTable.

Notes
If ncol is not specified, the number of columns is whatever is necessary to fit all of the original values of the matrix into the reshaped matrix.
If a missing value is specified for nrow, the number of rows is whatever is necessary to fit all of the original values of the matrix into the reshaped matrix.
If the new matrix is smaller than the original matrix, the extra values are discarded.
If the new matrix is larger than the original matrix, the values are repeated to fill the new matrix.

Solve(A, b)
Description
Solves a linear system. In other words, x=inverse(A)*b.
Sort Ascending(source)
Description
Returns a copy of a list or matrix source with the items in ascending order.
Sort Descending(source)
Description
Returns a copy of a list or matrix source with the items in descending order.
Sparse SVD(X, <nSingularValues=min(nRow, nCol)>, <tolerance=1e-10>)
Description
Computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of matrix X using the implicitly restarted, partially reorthogonalized Lanczos method for sparse matrices.
Returns
Returns a list {U, M, V} such that U*diag(M)*V′ is equal to X.
Arguments
X
A matrix.
nSingularValues
The number of singular values to return. By default, this value is the minimum of the number of rows and number of columns in the matrix X.
tolerance
The tolerance for the convergence criterion.
Spline Coef(x, y, lambda)
Description
Returns a five column matrix of the form knots||a||b||c||d where knots is the unique values in x.
x is a vector of regressor variables, y is the vector of response variables, and lambda is the smoothing argument. Larger values for lambda result in smoother splines.
Spline Eval(x, coef)
Description
Evaluates the spline predictions using the coef matrix in the same form as returned by SplineCoef(), in other words, knots||a||b||c||d. The x argument can be a scalar or a matrix of values to predict. The number of columns of coef can be any number greater than 1 and each is used for the next higher power. The powers of x are centered at the knot values. For example, the calculation for coef of knots||a||b||c||d is j is such that knots[j] is the largest knot smaller than x.
xx = x-knots[j] is the centered x value:
result = a[j] + xx * (b[j] + xx * (c[j] + xx * d[j]))
The following line is equivalent:
result = a[j] + b[j] * xx + c[j] * xx ^ 2 + d[j] * xx ^ 3
Spline Smooth(x, y, lambda)
Description
Returns the smoothed predicted values from a spline fit.
x is a vector of regressor variables, y is the vector of response variables, and lambda is the smoothing argument. Larger values for lambda result in smoother splines.

Specify 1 to perform a normalized rotation, and specify 0 to perform a non-normalized rotation. The default value is 1.
Vec Diag(A)
Description
Creates a vector from the diagonals of a square matrix A.
Returns
The new matrix.
Arguments
A
A square matrix.
Notes
Using a matrix that is not square results in an error.
Vec Quadratic(symmetric matrix, rectangular matrix)
Description
Constructs an n-by-m matrix. Used in calculation of hat values.
Returns
The new matrix.
Arguments
Two matrices. The first must be symmetric.
Equivalent Expression
