TAWNY

A subroutine to update the inverse of a matrix

Purpose

TAWNY is a subroutine to `update' the inverse of a dense symmetric, positive definite matrix when new rows and columns are added utlising the `old' inverse together with its Cholesky factor, saved from the previous inversion. A target application is the calculation of the inverse of the genomic relationship matrix when new genotypes are added.

TAWNY implements the strategy described in Meyer K., Tier B., Graser H.U. (2013) "Technical note: Updating the inverse of the genomic relationship matrix". J. Anim. Sci. 91:2583-2586. doi: 10.2527/jas.2012-6056
