I have a rate matrix say Q. It has only real eigen values.
The trouble is: I want to exponentiate the matrix to a small power. In
other worlds, the Exp(Q*power) is very close to an Identity matrix in a
sense that the off diagonal are very close to zero, but diagonal is
very close 1.
I used the GNU Scientific library, but it occasionally gaves negative
entries when the powers are small. Exp(Q*power) is a transition
probability matrix, the entries shouldn't be negative.
Are there other packages in C that can deal with high precision
calculations in matrix?
Thanks for any comments
i have a java routine that will raise small to medium sized matrices to any
given power. how big is the matrix you're dealing with? there shouldnt be
any problems with precision as it uses java's bigdecimal arbitrary precision
functions. if you're running java and your matrix isnt too large you can
have it and give it a shot
