Derivatives of Generalized Eigen Systems with Applications

Abstract

In this note we compute derivatives of generalized eigenvalues and singular values, and of the corresponding eigen and singular vectors. These formulas have been around for a long time in various places, and we collect them mostly for reference purposes. We discuss some applications to multivariate analysis, and include R routines for doing the computations.
