Dmitriy Lyubimov commented on MAHOUT-817:
-----------------------------------------

bq. Another problem i identified with the scheme is that Q is produced in 
blocks and formation of entire row sum vector is not available at the point of 
B' and BB' computation. There's one more step further in this.

Ok i think i see how to fix BB' computation as well as power iterations.
 
One issue still remains as far as estimate of m*Omega term is concerned. See 
attached.

I am posting a first stub at bringing all the ideas together, please review. It 
doesn't contain the detailed modification plan though, just the algebra.

> It seems that a simple solution should exist to integrate PCA mean 
> subtraction into SSVD algorithm without making it a pre-requisite step and 
> also avoiding densifying the big input. 
> Several approaches were suggested:
> 1) subtract mean off B
> 2) propagate mean vector deeper into algorithm algebraically where the data 
> is already collapsed to smaller matrices
> 3) --?
> It needs some math done first . I'll take a stab at 1 and 2 but thoughts and 
> math are welcome.
