Notes

corrmat_h_weight finds the nearest correlation matrix, , to an approximate correlation matrix, , using element-wise weighting, this minimizes , where denotes the matrix with elements .

You can optionally specify a lower bound on the eigenvalues, , of the computed correlation matrix, forcing the matrix to be strictly positive definite, if .

Zero elements in should be used when you wish to put no emphasis on the corresponding element of . The algorithm scales so that the maximum element is . It is this scaled matrix that is used in computing the norm above and for the stopping criteria described in Accuracy.

Note that if the elements in vary by several orders of magnitude from one another the algorithm may fail to converge.
