WORHP - Matlab interface, ERROR IN LEQSOL: symbolic step - matlab

I try to transform Hessian in matlab handle into Worhp structure. The idea is using random input to find nonzero-element in Hessian, something like:
% Hessian
H = #(x)[x(1) x(2); x(2) 0];
% evaluate for some random points
nr = 3;
S = zeros(2,2);
for i=1:nr
S = S + full(H(rand(2,1)) ~=0);
end
% get sparsity
S = S ~=0;
% convert everything to vectors for WORHP
[ HMrow, HMcol ] = find(S);
posCombined = find(S);
hess2vec(rand(2,1),posCombined,H)
function hVec = hess2vec(x, mu, scale,posCombined,Hess)
H = Hess(x,mu, scale);
hVec = H(posCombined);
end
And the hess2Vec is assigned to wCallback.hm in matlab-interface.
It works well with the given example, i.e. the example from Maltab-interface, whose hessian is a 2x2 matrix
However it failed with an error by our own project:
Error using worhp
WorhpIPLeqInit: ERROR IN LEQSOL: symbolic step! flag =
-1
Error in worhp_interface (line 82)
[xFinal,lambdaFinal,muFinal,solverstatus] =

Perhaps someone knows what that means? What might be the cause?

corr() with sparse matrix - MATLAB

I wonder whether MATLAB has a toolbox to do common matrixial operation with sparse matrices.
Using a dense matrix, I can compute the correlogram matrix doing:
R = rand(10,100)
[r,p] = corr(R)
With sparse matrix I would love to do:
S = sprand(10,100,.2)
[r,p] = corr(S)
However, the following error is elicited:
Error using betainc
Inputs must be real, full, and double or single.
Error in tcdf (line 70)
p(t) = betainc(xsq(t) ./ (v(t) + xsq(t)), 0.5, v(t)/2, 'upper') / 2;

pval(ltri) = pvalPearson(tail, coef(ltri), n);
Error in corr (line 204)
[coef,pval] = corrFun(rows,tail,x);
Can anyone help me?
Cmon ppl, let's do some math! Let x be a random vector. An entry in the correlation matrix CORR(x_i, x_j) is given by:
CORR(x_i, x_j) = COV(x_i, x_j) / (SQRT(VAR(x_i)) *SQRT(VAR(x_j));
That is, to build our correlation matrix, we need the covariance matrix, which also gives us the individual variances. Formula for covariance: COV(x) = E[x*x'] - E[x]E[x]'. We can then approximate the the population moments E[x*x'] with the sample moments (i.e. X'*X/n and mean(X))
Hence the following Matlab code:
[n, k] = size(X);
Exxprim = full(X'*X)/n; %I'm shocked if this isn't full so let's drop sparse now
Ex = full(mean(X))'; %same deal
COVX = (Exxprim - Ex*Ex');
STDEVX = sqrt(diag(COVX));
CORRX = COVX ./ (STDEVX * STDEVX');
This may help if X'*X and mean(X) can be done more efficiently because X is sparse.

Numerical Integral in MatLab using integral command

I am trying to compute the value of this integral using Matlab
Here the other parameters have been defined or computed in the earlier part of the program as follows
N = 2;
sigma = [0.01 0.1];
l = [15];
meu = 4*pi*10^(-7);
f = logspace ( 1, 6, 500);
w=2*pi.*f;
for j = 1 : length(f)
q2(j)= sqrt(sqrt(-1)*2*pi*f(j)*meu*sigma(2));
q1(j)= sqrt(sqrt(-1)*2*pi*f(j)*meu*sigma(1));
C2(j)= 1/(q2(j));
C1(j)= (q1(j)*C2(j) + tanh(q1(j)*l))/(q1(j)*(1+q1(j)*C2(j)*tanh(q1(j)*l)));
Z(j) = sqrt(-1)*2*pi*f(j)*C1(j);
Apprho(j) = meu*(1/(2*pi*f(j))*(abs(Z(j))^2));
Phi(j) = atan(imag(Z(j))/real(Z(j)));
end
%integration part
c1=w./(2*pi);
rho0=1;
fun = #(x) log(Apprho(x)/rho0)/(x.^2-w^2);
c2= integral(fun,0,Inf);
phin=pi/4-c1.*c2;
I am getting an error like this
could anyone help and tell me where i am going wrong.thanks in advance
Define Apprho in a separate *.m function file, instead of storing it in an array:
function [ result ] = Apprho(x)
%
% Calculate f and Z based on input argument x
%
% ...
%
meu = 4*pi*10^(-7);
result = meu*(1/(2*pi*f)*(abs(Z)^2));
end
How you calculate f and Z is up to you.
MATLAB's integral works by calling the function (in this case, Apprho) repeatedly at many different x values. The x values called by integral don't necessarily correspond to the 1: length(f) values used in your original code, which is why you received errors.

Use Matlab/Maple to find roots of a nonlinear equation

I am having difficulty in finding roots of a nonlinear equation. I have tried Matlab and Maple both, and both give me the same error which is
Error, (in RootFinding:-NextZero) can only handle isolated zeros
The equation goes like
-100 + 0.1335600000e-5*H + (1/20)*H*arcsinh(2003.40/H)
The variable is H in the equation.
How do I find the roots (or the approximate roots) of this equation?
Matlab Code:
The function file:
function hor_force = horizontal(XY, XZ, Lo, EAo, qc, VA)
syms H
equation = (-1*ZZ) + (H/qc)*(cosh((qc/H)*(XZ- XB))) - H/qc + ZB;
hor_force = `solve(equation);`
The main file:
EAo = 7.5*10^7;
Lo = 100.17;
VA = 2002;
XY = 0;
ZY = 0;
XB = 50;
ZB = -2;
XZ = 100;
ZZ = 0;
ql = 40;
Error which Matlab shows:
Error using sym/solve (line 22)
Error using maplemex
Error, (in RootFinding:-NextZero) can only handle isolated zeros
Error in horizontal (line 8)
hor_force = solve(equation);
Error in main (line 34)
h = horizontal(XY, XZ, Lo, EAo, ql, VA)
http://postimg.org/image/gm93z3b7z/
You don't need the symbolic toolbox for this:
First, create an anonymous function that can take vectors at input (use .* and ./:
equation = #(H) ((-1*ZZ) + (H./qc).*(cosh((qc./H).*(XZ- XB))) - H./qc + ZB);
Second, create a vector that you afterwards insert into the equation to find approximately when the sign of the function changes. In the end, use fzero with x0 as the second input parameter.
H = linspace(1,1e6,1e4);
x0 = H(find(diff(sign(equation(H))))); %// Approximation of when the line crosses zero
x = fzero(equation, x0) %// Use fzero to find the crossing point, using the initial guess x0
x =
2.5013e+04
equation(x)
ans =
0
To verify:
You might want to check out this question for more information about how to find roots of non-polynomials.
In Maple, using the expression from your question,
restart:

Matlab: fmincon throws error

I am implementing the expression given in the image which is the log-likelihood for AR(p) model.
In this case, p=2. I am using fmincon as the optimization tool. I checked the documentation and other examples over internet regarding the syntax of this command. Still, I am unable to mitigate the problem. Can somebody please help in eliminating the problem?
The following is the error

(T-p).*0.5*log(2*pi) + 0.5*(T-p).*log(sigma2_epsilon) + 0.5*(sigma2_epsilon^-1).*L1;
L = sum(L);
end
You are trying to pass constant parameters to the objective function (Y) in addition to the optimization variables (theta).
The right way of doing so is using anonymous function:
Y = ...; %// define your parameter here
fmincon( #(theta) ll_AR2(theta, Y), theta0, [],[],[],[],low_theta,up_theta,[],opts);
Now the objective function, as far as fmincon concerns, depends only on theta.
For more information you can read about anonymous functions and passing const parameters.

Create flexible function handle

I am using numerical integration in MATLAB, with one varibale to integrate over but the function also contains a variable number of terms depending on the dimension of my data. Right now this looks like the following for the 2-dimensional case:
for t = 1:T
fxt = #(u) exp(-0.5*(x(t,1)-theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2) .* ...
exp(-0.5*(x(t,2) -theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2);
f(t) = integral(fxt,1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3);
end
I would like to have this function flexible in the sense that there could be any number of data points in, each in the following term:
exp(-0.5*(x(t,i) -theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2);
I hope this is understandable.
If x and u have a valid dimension match (vector-vector or array-scalar) for the subtraction, you can put the whole matrix x into the handle and pass it to the integral function using the name-parameter pair ('ArrayValued',true):
fxt = #(u) exp(-0.5*(x - theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2) .* ...
exp(-0.5*(x - theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2);
f = integral(fxt,1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3,'ArrayValued',true);
[Documentation]
You may need a loop if integral ever passes a vector u into the handle.
But in looking at how the integral function is written, the integration nodes are entered as scalars for array-valued functions, so the loop shouldn't be necessary unless some weird dimension-mismatch error is thrown.
Array-Valued Output
In response to the comments below, you could try this function handle:
fx = #(u,t,k) prod(exp(-0.5*(x(t,1:k)-theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2),2);
Then your current loop would look like
fx = #(u,t,k) prod(exp(-0.5*(x(t,1:k)-theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2),2);
k = 2;
for t = 1:T
f(t) = integral(#(u)fx(u,t,k),1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3,'ArrayValued',true);
end
The ArrayValued flag is needed since x and u will have a dimension mismatch.
In this form, another loop would be needed to sweep through the k indexes.
However, we can improve this function by skipping the loop altogether since each iterate of the loop is independent by using the ArrayValued mode:
fx = #(u,k) prod(exp(-0.5*(x(:,1:k)-theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2),2);
k = 2;
f = integral(#(u)fx(u,k),1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3,'ArrayValued',true);
Vector-Valued Output
If ArrayValued is not desired, which may be the case if the integration requires a lot of subdivisions and a vector-valued u is preferable, you can also try a recursive version of the handle using cell arrays:
% x has size [T,K]
fx = cell(K,1);
fx{1} = #(u,t) exp(-0.5*(x(t,1) - theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2);
for k = 2:K
fx{k} = #(u,t) fx{k-1}(u,t).*exp(-0.5*(x(t,k) - theta*norminv(u,0,1)).^2);
end
f(T) = 0;
k = 2;
for t = 1:T
f(t) = integral(#(u)fx{k}(u,t),1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3);
end
ThanksTroy but now I run into the follwing:
x = [0.3,0.8;1.5,-0.7];
T = size(x,1);
k = size(x,2);
theta= 1;
fx = #(u,t,k) prod(exp(-0.5*(x(t,1:k) - theta*norminv(u,0,1))^2));
for t = 1,T
f(t) = integral(#(u)fx(u,t,k),1e-4,1-1e-4,'AbsTol',1e-3);
end
