Detailed Description

template<typename DecompositionPolicy = ExactSVDPolicy>
class mlpack::pca::PCAType< DecompositionPolicy >

This class implements principal components analysis (PCA).

This is a common, widely-used technique that is often used for either dimensionality reduction or transforming data into a better basis. Further information on PCA can be found in almost any statistics or machine learning textbook, and all over the internet. Note this class will be changed to have the name PCA in mlpack 3.0.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PCAType ( const bool  scaleData = false,
const DecompositionPolicy &  decomposition = DecompositionPolicy() 
)

Create the PCA object, specifying if the data should be scaled in each dimension by standard deviation when PCA is performed.

Parameters
scaleDataWhether or not to scale the data.

Member Function Documentation

void Apply ( const arma::mat &  data,
arma::mat &  transformedData,
arma::vec &  eigVal,
arma::mat &  eigvec 
)

Apply Principal Component Analysis to the provided data set.

It is safe to pass the same matrix reference for both data and transformedData.

Parameters
dataData matrix.
transformedDataMatrix to put results of PCA into.
eigvalVector to put eigenvalues into.
eigvecMatrix to put eigenvectors (loadings) into.

Referenced by PCAType< DecompositionPolicy >::Apply().

void Apply ( const arma::mat &  data,
arma::mat &  transformedData,
arma::vec &  eigVal 
)

Apply Principal Component Analysis to the provided data set.

It is safe to pass the same matrix reference for both data and transformedData.

Parameters
dataData matrix.
transformedDataMatrix to store results of PCA in.
eigValVector to put eigenvalues into.
double Apply ( arma::mat &  data,
const size_t  newDimension 
)

Use PCA for dimensionality reduction on the given dataset.

This will save the newDimension largest principal components of the data and remove the rest. The parameter returned is the amount of variance of the data that is retained; this is a value between 0 and 1. For instance, a value of 0.9 indicates that 90% of the variance present in the data was retained.

Parameters
dataData matrix.
newDimensionNew dimension of the data.
Returns
Amount of the variance of the data retained (between 0 and 1).
double Apply ( arma::mat &  data,
const int  newDimension 
)
inline

This overload is here to make sure int gets casted right to size_t.

References PCAType< DecompositionPolicy >::Apply().

double Apply ( arma::mat &  data,
const double  varRetained 
)

Use PCA for dimensionality reduction on the given dataset.

This will save as many dimensions as necessary to retain at least the given amount of variance (specified by parameter varRetained). The amount should be between 0 and 1; if the amount is 0, then only 1 dimension will be retained. If the amount is 1, then all dimensions will be retained.

The method returns the actual amount of variance retained, which will always be greater than or equal to the varRetained parameter.

Parameters
dataData matrix.
varRetainedLower bound on amount of variance to retain; should be between 0 and 1.
Returns
Actual amount of variance retained (between 0 and 1).
bool ScaleData ( ) const
inline

Get whether or not this PCA object will scale (by standard deviation) the data when PCA is performed.

bool& ScaleData ( )
inline

Modify whether or not this PCA object will scale (by standard deviation) the data when PCA is performed.
