Package: rstiefel Type: Package Title: Random Orthonormal Matrix Generation and Optimization on the Stiefel Manifold Version: 1.0.1 Date: 2021-06-14 Author: Peter Hoff and Alexander Franks Maintainer: Peter Hoff Description: Simulation of random orthonormal matrices from linear and quadratic exponential family distributions on the Stiefel manifold. The most general type of distribution covered is the matrix-variate Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution. Most of the simulation methods are presented in Hoff(2009) "Simulation of the Matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher Distribution, With Applications to Multivariate and Relational Data" . The package also includes functions for optimization on the Stiefel manifold based on algorithms described in Wen and Yin (2013) "A feasible method for optimization with orthogonality constraints" .
