function T = reduced_rank_cholesky(X)
% Computes the cholesky decomposition of a symetric semidefinite matrix or of a definite positive matrix.
%
% INPUTS:
% X [double] n*n matrix to be factorized.
%
% OUTPUTS
% T [double] q*n matrix such that T'*T = X, where q is the number of positive eigenvalues in X.
%
% NOTES:
% If X is not positive definite, then X has to be a symetric semidefinite matrix.
% The matrix T is upper triangular iff X is positive definite.
