one matrix subtracted by another gives a scalar?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

I am implementing an algorithm, Recursive Least Squares Method. Something went wrong with matrix subtraction. That node lays below the context help gives a scalar. It should be a matrix, anyway.

How can I fix it?

 

Thanks in advance.

For anyone interested in algorithm .

1.Pick 0<gamma<=1, delta>0, m>=0, N>=1

2.Set w=0, p=0, and Q=delta^-1 * I. Here w and p are (m+1)*1 and Q is (m+1)*(m+1)

3. For k=1 to N compute

{

u=[x(k) x(k-1) ... x(k-m)]T

r=Qu

c=gamma+uT r

p=gamma p+d(k) u

Q=1/gamma*(Q-r * rT /c)

w=Q p

}

 

The errors occured when I was trying to compute (Q-r * rT /c).

If you want help with your code, you need to supply us with your code.  A "picture" that (a) shows only some of the code, (b) is not easy for us to modify (to make it easier to understand what it does), and (c) is not executable doesn't provide enough information for us to really help you.

 

I can tell you that subtracting two 3x3 matrices gives a 3x3 matrix, not a scalar.  So if you are, indeed, doing such a subtraction and getting a scalar, you are probably not doing "what you think you are doing".  I'd want to execute (and watch) your code and figure out where you made the mistake, but I need you to attach your VI.

What problem is "Recursive Least Squares" supposed to solve?  Don't tell me the algorithm, tell me the problem (i.e. "Find the coefficients of an N-degree polynomial that best fits M data points", or something like that).

It's to find the best coefficients for an adaptive filter.

OK, so somehow the Feedback Node messes up Matrix code -- good discovery/observation.  Thanks for sending the "simple example".  Also, thanks for providing the context for this code.

Hi Dirichlet,

 

why did you create another thread for the very same problem?

Why didn't you stick with this thread?

Best regards,

Sorry, I think this one might be too messy and complicated. And I find the problem is just the feedback node.

 

Best regards,

Chuan
