Computes the Frobenius-normalised conformal normal curvature (CNC) matrix of Poon and Poon (1999) for a given perturbation matrix and information matrix inverse.

Usage

cnc_matrix(Delta, info_inv)

Arguments

Delta

A perturbation matrix of dimension (M+m+p) x n, e.g. from delta_caseweights().

info_inv

The inverse information matrix from bic_info().

Value

A list with the n x n CNC matrix B, its eigenvalues lambda (normalised so that the sum of squares is one), eigenvectors vectors, and the Frobenius norm normF of the unnormalised curvature.
