I have a few questions about T-Matrix.
In excel, I am suppose to work with powered matrices to construct a weighted T matrix, using a scalar of .7.
Does this mean I multiply each of the powered matrices by .7? Or do I power the powered matrices by .7? Or am I completely off base?
My notes say T-matrix is calculated by powering the minimal information matrix up to the diameter of the system. So if I'm using the maximum diameter of the matrix (let's say 6) in the t-matrix equation, where does the .7 comes into play?
To construct a weighted T-matrix using a scalar of 0.7, you would multiply each of the powered matrices by 0.7. Let's break down the steps involved:
1. Begin by constructing the powered matrices: To calculate the T-matrix, you start with the minimal information matrix and raise it to the power of the system diameter. For example, if the maximum diameter of the matrix is 6, you would raise the minimal information matrix to the power of 6.
2. Apply the weight scalar: Once you have the powered matrices, you multiply each element of the matrices by the weight scalar, which in this case is 0.7. This step involves multiplying each element of the powered matrices by 0.7.
By applying the weight scalar to each element of the powered matrices, you are incorporating the weight into the construction of the T-matrix. It is important to note that the weight scalar can vary depending on the specific context or requirements of the problem you are working on. In your case, you have been instructed to use a weight scalar of 0.7.
