Determinant of a Matrix from Eigenvalue Decomposition
DESCRIPTION:
Computes the determinant (or its logarithm) of a Matrix from its
eigenvalue decomposition.
USAGE:
det.eigen.Matrix(x, logarithm=T)
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
x:
an object of class "eigen.Matrix" representing
the eigenvalue decomposition of a Matrix.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
logarithm:
a logical variable indicating whether or not the logarithm of the modulus of
the determinant should be returned rather than the determinant itself.
The default is to return the logarithm.
VALUE:
returns an object of class "det".
