CircularRealMatrixDistribution

CircularRealMatrixDistribution[n]

represents a circular real matrix distribution with matrix dimensions {n,n}.

Details

  • CircularRealMatrixDistribution is also known as circular real ensemble, or CRE.
  • CircularRealMatrixDistribution represents a uniform distribution over the orthogonal square matrices of dimension n, also known as the Haar measure on the orthogonal group .
  • The dimension parameter n can be any positive integer.
  • CircularRealMatrixDistribution can be used with such functions as MatrixPropertyDistribution and RandomVariate.
