anvil (development version)

New Features

• New primitives:
  • nvl_cholesky() to compute the Cholesky decomposition of a matrix.
  • nvl_triangular_solve() to solve a system of linear equations with a triangular matrix.
• New API functions:
  • nv_diag() to create a diagonal matrix from a 1-D tensor.
  • nv_eye() to create an identity matrix.
  • nv_solve() to solve a system of linear equations.
  • nv_cholesky() to compute the Cholesky decomposition of a matrix.
• Improved semantics:
  • nvl_cholesky() now zeros out the upper/lower triangle of the output.

Bug Fixes

• +-Inf/NaN are correctly created for f64 when inlined into the XLA exectuable (#182). This caused wrong results with e.g. nv_reduce_max() when working with f64.
• Corrected argument checks in nv_iota().

Documentation

• New vignette on implementing Gaussian Processes.
• New vignette on implementing Metropolis-Hastings sampling.
