Hi Monks!
Further to a post I made a day or so ago regarding the pseudoinverse of a mxn matrix, I proceeded to create the following script .. attempting to implement the equation pseudoinvB = (B^tB)^-1B^t where B^t = transpose of non square matrix B. 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use PDL;

my $matrix = pdl [
           [4, 2, 9],
           [2, 5, 5],
           [6, 3, 5],
           [8, 4, 6],
           ];

($a, $b, $c) = svd($matrix);

$bt = transpose($b);

$B1 = $bt*$b;

$B2 = $B1^-1;

$pseudoB = $B2*$bt;

Does this look OK to people or not?

In reply to Pseudoinversing matrix .. is this correct? by Angharad
