pyriemann.utils.tangentspace.upper(X)

Return the weighted upper triangular part of matrices.

This function computes the minimal representation of a matrix in tangent space [1]: it keeps the upper triangular part of the symmetric/Hermitian matrix and vectorizes it by applying unity weight for diagonal elements and \(\sqrt{2}\) weight for out-of-diagonal elements.

Parameters:

Xndarray, shape (…, n, n)

Symmetric/Hermitian matrices.

Returns:

Tndarray, shape (…, n * (n + 1) / 2)

Weighted upper triangular parts of symmetric/Hermitian matrices.

Notes

New in version 0.4.
