Function getDeterminant
has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
protected function getDeterminant(NumericMatrix $mA)
{
switch ($this->method) {
case self::METHOD_AUTO;

Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Importing all external classes in a file through use statements makes them clearly visible.

The method getDeterminant uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them. Open
} else {
throw new UndefinedComputationException('No available strategy found to determine the determinant');

ElseExpression
Since: 1.4.0
An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read. To achieve this, use early return statements, though you may need to split the code it several smaller methods. For very simple assignments you could also use the ternary operations.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar($flag)
{
if ($flag) {
// one branch
} else {
// another branch
}
}
}

UnusedFormalParameter
Since: 0.2
Avoid passing parameters to methods or constructors and then not using those parameters.
Example
class Foo
{
private function bar($howdy)
{
// $howdy is not used
}
}
