⚡ Bolt: Remove redundant matrix inversions in vuongtest.R#8
Conversation
Replaced `chol2inv(chol(...))` of an already inverted matrix by passing the non-inverted matrix forward, saving computation time.

💡 What: Replaced the return of the inverse matrix
Awith the original variance-covariance matrixtmpvc(namedAinv) incalcAB(). UpdatedcalcLambda()to useAinvdirectly instead of doingchol2inv(chol(AB1$A))andchol2inv(chol(AB2$A)).🎯 Why: In
calcAB(), we calculatedA <- chol2inv(chol(tmpvc)). IncalcLambda(), we were doingchol2inv(chol(AB1$A)), which mathematically is just calculating the inverse of the inverse, bringing us back totmpvc. This caused unnecessary O(n^3) matrix inversions, which are highly expensive for large matrices.📊 Impact: Reduces execution time for
vuongtest()by eliminating redundant matrix inversions, especially noticeable when dealing with large model variance-covariance matrices. Removes unnecessary numerical instability.🔬 Measurement: Benchmark
vuongtest()with large lavaan or mirt models; execution time and cpu load should drop significantly for the variance test calculations.PR created automatically by Jules for task 17702471422863492329 started by @seonghobae
