I remember asking questions like how we get the Q and you seem to have implied we just take AOmega instead of orthonormalizing it (i was wondering where that step would go). For reference, i am attaching summary of our previous discussion which i took liberty of slightly reworking. ( i wanted to test it out using Pig but still did not quite manage to squeeze it into my schedule). Could you please elaborate on qr() proceduer there? If you mean QR decompostion, then Q is commonly thought of as a result of Gramm-Schmidt procedure which is iterative (and hence kinda tough to do without considering other rows of AOmega)
