Abstract
This paper deals with the determination of the analytical expression of a real partitioned matrix inverse. A formal inversion method is suggested through Schur complements and the elements of any inverse matrix block are explained, irrespective of the size of the considered matrix. The suggested approach does not need any matrix inversion numerical program. This methodology is applied to a Fisher information matrix relating to a multidimensional modelling of road accident data when a road safety measure is applied on different experiment sites. An example of formal calculation and interpretation is given to support our approach. (Author/publisher)
