Hi. As far as I know, sparse data is not mean-centered. I don't know the poster of the answer, but I don't think the claim is true. Anyway, our documentation doesn't seem to be sufficient :-/ Best, Andy On 01/12/2013 06:19 PM, Neva Cherniavsky wrote: Hello, I'm using RandomizedPCA to get the

Hello, I'm using RandomizedPCA to get the first few principal components of a large sparse matrix. However, the matrix isn't mean-centered to begin with. If I call RandomizedPCA with the full version of the matrix, the function will mean-center it before running the SVD. What happens with a spa
