Description Douglas Bates 2014-03-10 18:45:18 UTC
Because sparse Cholesky factors can be very large, the determinant() method can encounter overflow/underflow.  Evaluating the logarithm of the determinant is more stable.
Comment 1 Christoph Hertzberg 2015-04-14 12:03:27 UTC
Yes, we should provide logAbsDeterminant, signDeterminant and absDeterminant for all (dense and sparse) decompositions.
