Hi Dmitriy,
Just a few comments:
--the computed factors are approximate A \approx U\SigmaV^{T}
-- the projection steps seemed transposed to me but they are consistent
throughout ie.
(2) \tilde{u} = \tilde{c}_{r} V \Sigma^{-1}
p. 3: transpose \xi to emphasize row vector
- 'mean of all rows' is a bit misleading, \xi entries are the mean of each
column (column-wise mean as you state below)
- dimention -> dimension
I haven't code dived into the new pca code to be familiar with it so the
above comments are just picky notational stuff. I did however, do some
extensive analysis on the standard decomposition part (as of 0.6 SNAPSHOT)
which can be found here
http://amath.colorado.edu/faculty/martinss/Pubs/2012_halko_dissertation.pdf
(starting page 139)
Its a beast of a read so I can concisely discuss a few points perhaps on a
different thread.
