Thanks, the problem was I solved a covariance matrix manually, but my fellow mate using the covariance syntax. That's why there was difference in Matlab and python results. But now when I use the covariance syntax in python, matlab and python gives the same results. On Sat, Oct 10, 2020, 21:37 Pet

When I use the same code in MATLAB I get the answer as 4.6e-06 and when I use the same code in PYTHON I get the answer as 4.7e-06. How do I know which is the most precise and accurate value. Actually the answer is a big matrix, I've only compared the first entry of the matrix. On Wed, Oct 7, 2020,

If you want to avoid float problems, you can use Decimal: https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html On Wed, 7 Oct 2020 at 05:23, Meghna Karkera wrote: > > How is PYTHON better than other software's(MATLAB) in case of truncation or > rounding off error. > > Thanks > Meghna > -- > https://mai

Truncation error

How is PYTHON better than other software's(MATLAB) in case of truncation or rounding off error. Thanks Meghna -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
