`scipy.linalg._special_matrices:helmert`

Signature

def helmert(n, full = False)

Create an Helmert matrix of order n.

This has applications in statistics, compositional or simplicial analysis, and in Aitchison geometry.

n : int: The size of the array to create.
full : bool, optional: If True the (n, n) ndarray will be returned. Otherwise the submatrix that does not include the first row will be returned. Default: False.

M : ndarray: The Helmert matrix. The shape is (n, n) or (n-1, n) depending on the full argument.
