1"""Matrix validation utilities for handling non-finite values.
3This module provides functions for validating and cleaning matrices that may
4contain non-finite values (NaN or infinity). This is particularly useful when
5working with financial data where missing values are common.
7Example:
8 Extract the valid submatrix from a covariance matrix with missing data:
10 >>> import numpy as np
11 >>> from cvx.linalg import valid
12 >>> # Create a covariance matrix with some NaN values on diagonal
13 >>> cov = np.array([[np.nan, 0.5, 0.2],
14 ... [0.5, 2.0, 0.3],
15 ... [0.2, 0.3, np.nan]])
16 >>> # Get valid indicator and submatrix
17 >>> v, submatrix = valid(cov)
18 >>> v # Second row/column is valid
19 array([False, True, False])
20 >>> submatrix
21 array([[2.]])

35 """Extract the valid subset of a matrix by removing rows/columns with non-finite values.
37 This function identifies rows and columns in a square matrix that contain
38 non-finite values (NaN or infinity) on the diagonal and removes them,
39 returning both the indicator vector and the resulting valid submatrix.
41 This is useful when working with covariance matrices where some assets
42 may have missing or invalid data.
44 Args:
45 matrix: A square n x n matrix to be validated. Typically a covariance
46 or correlation matrix.
48 Returns:
49 A tuple containing:
50 - v: Boolean vector of shape (n,) indicating which rows/columns are
51 valid (True for valid, False for invalid).
52 - submatrix: The valid submatrix with invalid rows/columns removed.
53 Shape is (k, k) where k is the number of True values in v.
55 Raises:
56 NonSquareMatrixError: If the input matrix is not square (n x n).
58 Example:
59 Basic usage with a covariance matrix:
61 >>> import numpy as np
62 >>> from cvx.linalg import valid
63 >>> # Create a 3x3 matrix with one invalid entry
64 >>> cov = np.array([[1.0, 0.5, 0.2],
65 ... [0.5, np.nan, 0.3],
66 ... [0.2, 0.3, 1.0]])
67 >>> v, submatrix = valid(cov)
68 >>> v
69 array([ True, False, True])
70 >>> submatrix
71 array([[1. , 0.2],
72 [0.2, 1. ]])
74 Handling a fully valid matrix:
76 >>> cov = np.array([[1.0, 0.5], [0.5, 1.0]])
77 >>> v, submatrix = valid(cov)
78 >>> v
79 array([ True, True])
80 >>> np.allclose(submatrix, cov)
81 True
83 Handling infinity values:
85 >>> cov = np.array([[1.0, 0.5, 0.2],
86 ... [0.5, np.inf, 0.3],
87 ... [0.2, 0.3, 1.0]])
88 >>> v, submatrix = valid(cov)
89 >>> v
90 array([ True, False, True])
91 >>> submatrix
92 array([[1. , 0.2],
93 [0.2, 1. ]])
95 Multiple invalid entries:
97 >>> cov = np.array([[np.nan, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
98 ... [0.1, 2.0, 0.4, 0.5],
99 ... [0.2, 0.4, np.nan, 0.6],
100 ... [0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 3.0]])
101 >>> v, submatrix = valid(cov)
102 >>> v
103 array([False, True, False, True])
104 >>> submatrix.shape
105 (2, 2)
106 >>> submatrix
107 array([[2. , 0.5],
108 [0.5, 3. ]])
110 Non-square matrix raises NonSquareMatrixError:
112 >>> try:
113 ... valid(np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]))
114 ... except NonSquareMatrixError:
115 ... print("Caught NonSquareMatrixError for non-square matrix")
116 Caught NonSquareMatrixError for non-square matrix
118 Note:
119 The function checks only the diagonal elements for validity. It assumes
120 that if the diagonal is finite, the entire row/column is valid. This is
121 a common assumption for covariance matrices.
