The kronecker product of positive definite matrices is positive definite, and the cholesky factor of a kronecker product is the kronecker product of the cholesky factors. So this PR adds
This functionality would be used to improve two spots in
Distributions.jl
where a covariance matrix is computed as the kronecker product of twoPDMat
instances, but we currently ignore thePDMat
nature of the factors: here and here.Turns out that directly supplying both
mat
andchol
is faster than just supplyingchol
and lettingmat
be computed from it. MWE:
