Positive projections of symmetric matrices and Jordan algebras

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

An elementary proof is given that the projection from the space of all symmetric p×p matrices onto a linear subspace is positive if and only if the subspace is a Jordan algebra. This solves a problem in a statistical model.
