D.15.9.2 logHessian

Procedure from library maxlike.lib (see maxlike_lib).

Usage:
logHessian(I,u); ideal I, intvec u
I represents the algebraic statistical model and u is the data vector under considerarion.

Return:
matrix: a modified version of the Hessian matrix of the loglikelihood function defined by u and (the given generators of) I.

Note:
This matrix has the following property: if it is negative definite at a point, then the actual Hessian is also negative definite at that point. The same holds for positive definiteness.

Example:
 
LIB "maxlike.lib";
ring r = 0,(x,y),dp;
poly pA = -10x+2y+25;
poly pC = 8x-y+25;
poly pG = 11x-2y+25;
poly pT = -9x+y+25;
intvec u = 10,14,15,10;
ideal I = pA,pC,pG,pT;
matrix H = logHessian(I,u); H;
==> H[1,1]=-689040x3+314898x2y-44808xy2+1974y3+9619350x2-2949075xy+240975y2+6\
