Let a $mtimes n$ full-column matrix be $A$. Also, denote $mtimes m$ diagonal matrix as $D$.



Define $P(A)D=A(A'A)^-1A'D$ as the orthogonal projection of $D$ onto the column space of $A$, or "fitted value" in regression term. Note that $(A'A)$ is full rank, so $P(A)$ always exists.



I'm wondering how the eigenvalues of $P(A)D$ are determined. Can we use the fact that $D$ is already a diagonal matrix?

    What you're doing is looking at square matrices $P$ and $D$, idempotent and diagonal respectively, and asking if there's a shortcut to compute the eigenvalues of $PD$. I'm pretty sure the answer is, no there is not.

It's not true that the positive eigenvalues of $P(A)D$ are diagonal elements of $D$. Consider e.g.
$$P(A) = pmatrix8/9 & -2/9 & -2/9cr
-2/9 & 5/9 & -4/9cr
-2/9 & -4/9 & 5/9cr, D = pmatrixa & 0 & 0cr 0 & b & 0cr 0 & 0 & c$$
Then $P(A)D$ has characteristic polynomial $$t^3- left(frac89 a +frac59 b + frac59 cright)t^2+ frac4ac+bc+4ab9 t
$$
and none of $a,b,c$ are roots of this.

  • Thank you! If I ask you more, when the eigenvalues of $P(A)D$ becomes the distinct elements of $D$? Now I see from you answer that it's generally not always the case, but I found some cases where it holds.

  • Although I found some cases where it holds, the problem is I don't know what condition of $A$ will lead this property and WHY it holds. :(

It's not true that the positive eigenvalues of $P(A)D$ are diagonal elements of $D$. Consider e.g.
$$P(A) = pmatrix8/9 & -2/9 & -2/9cr
-2/9 & 5/9 & -4/9cr
-2/9 & -4/9 & 5/9cr, D = pmatrixa & 0 & 0cr 0 & b & 0cr 0 & 0 & c$$
Then $P(A)D$ has characteristic polynomial $$t^3- left(frac89 a +frac59 b + frac59 cright)t^2+ frac4ac+bc+4ab9 t
$$
and none of $a,b,c$ are roots of this.
