numpy.matrix.getI

matrix.getI()

Returns the (multiplicative) inverse of invertible self.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

ret : matrix object

If self is non-singular, ret is such that ret * self == self * ret == np.matrix(np.eye(self[0,:].size) all return True.

Raises:

numpy.linalg.LinAlgError: Singular matrix

If self is singular.

>>> m = np.matrix('[1, 2; 3, 4]'); m
