Calculate the QR decomposition of a given matrix using NumPy

In this article, we will discuss QR decomposition of a matrix. QR factorization of a matrix is the decomposition of a matrix say ‘A’ into ‘A=QR’ where Q is orthogonal and R is an upper-triangular matrix. We can calculate the QR decomposition of a given matrix with the help of numpy.linalg.qr(). 

Syntax : numpy.linalg.qr(a, mode=’reduced’)

Parameters :

• a : matrix(M,N) which needs to be factored.
• mode : it is optional. It can be :

Example 1:

Output:

[[1 2 3]
 [3 4 5]]

Q:
 [[-0.31622777 -0.9486833 ]
