These factorizations can be computed in a numerically stable way using a simple algorithm. For example, consider the factorization Equating terms we have tg2 = 2122, t 2 2 t 1 2 = v 1 2 and T11Tz = V11 - t 1 2 t T 2 . The problem is now reduced to finding the factorization of the modified 46 submatrix VII - t12tT2. The complete factorization can be achieved by repeating this step: I Set T ( i , j )= V ( i , j ) for , all i 2 j. I1 For k = n : -1 : 1, set T ( k ,k ) = T ( k ,k)1/2 and T(1:k-1,k) =T(l:k-l,k)/T(k,k).

For example, we have generated exact q for yj = 1, j = 1,.. 0],and then subtracted 10 from y2, simulating a discrepant value.
