             Summary: Test matrix decompositions for speed vs. numerical 
stability for Gaussians
                 Key: SPARK-7210
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7210
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: MLlib
            Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
            Priority: Minor


We currently use SVD for inverting the Gaussian's covariance matrix and 
computing the determinant.  SVD is numerically stable but slow.  We could 
experiment with Cholesky, etc. to figure out a better option, or a better 
option for certain settings.
