The Structure of the Jacobian Matrix in One-to-One Transformations












2












$begingroup$


I currently study Searle's et al. (1992) book "variance components". In appendix S.d (page 474) they define Jacobian matrix of the transformation $Theta rightarrowDelta$ as



$J_{Theta rightarrowDelta}=left[_m frac {partial Theta_i}{partial Delta_j}right]_{i,j}$



$m$ indicates that it is a matrix with the corresponding partial derivatives at $(i,j)$. Hence, $J$ is the Jacobian matrix of a function which takes as input the vector $Theta$ and produces as output the vector $Delta$. Or as the authors put it: parameters in $Theta$ "are transformed in a one-to-one manner to the vector $Delta$"



However, if I remind myself about the structure of a Jacobian matrix, amongst others here, then I find the following:



$ J=[frac {partial f}{partial x_i}...frac {partial f}{partial x_n}]$



Here, J is the Jacobian matrix $[m,n]$ of $f$, where $f:ℝ^n → ℝ^m$ is a function which takes as input the vector $x$ and produces as output the vector $f(x)$.



Hence, I find the two definitions of the Jacobian matrix conflicting since



$J_{Theta rightarrowDelta} = J^{-1}$



I do not believe that there is a mistake in Searle's et al. but cannot reconcile both definitions of a Jacobian matrix. What do I miss?

          $begingroup$

          That's just because of how the Jacobian is used in probability. If $Delta = f(Theta)$ and $p_Delta, p_Theta$ are the two densities then



          $$mathbf{P}(Delta in A) = int_A p_{Delta}(delta) ,ddelta = mathbf{P}(Theta in f^{-1}(A)) = int_{f^{-1}(A)} p_Theta(theta) ,dtheta $$



          The change of variables theorem tells us that



          $$ int_{f^{-1}(A)} p_Theta(theta) ,dtheta = int_A p_Theta(f^{-1}(delta))left| detleft[ frac{partial Theta_i}{partial Delta_j} right] right| ,ddelta. $$



          So



          $$ p_Delta(delta) = p_Theta(f^{-1}(delta))left| detleft[ frac{partial Theta_i}{partial Delta_j} right] right|. $$



          Which means we don't want the Jacobian of $f$ as defined on Wikipedia, we want the Jacobian of $f^{-1}$.
