In most general terms, the LSI method manipulates the matrix to eradicate dependencies and thus consider only the independent, smaller part of this large term-by-document matrix.
In particular, the mathematical tool used to achieve the reduction is the truncated singular value decomposition SVD of the matrix. Basically, a truncated SVD of the term-by-document matrix reduces the m -by- n matrix A to an approximation A k that is stored compactly with a smaller number of vectors. The subscript k represents how much of the original matrix A we wish to preserve. A large value of k means that A k is very close to A. However, the value of this good approximation must be weighed against the desire for data compression.
In fact, the truncated representation A k requires the storage of exactly k scalars, k m -dimensional vectors and k n -dimensional vectors. Clearly, as k increases, so do the storage requirements. Let's pause now for a formal definition of the SVD, followed by a numerical example. Before defining the SVD, we also review some other matrix algebra terms. The following definitions and theorems are taken from Meyer Definition The rank of an m -by- n matrix A is the number of linearly independent rows or columns of A.
Definition An orthogonal matrix is a real m -by- n matrix P of rank r whose columns or rows constitute an orthonormal basis for R r. Theorem For each m -by- n matrix A of rank r , there are orthogonal matrices. The factorization in the theorem is called the singular value decomposition SVD of A , and the columns of U denoted u i and the columns of V denoted v i are called the left-hand and right-hand singular vectors of A , respectively.
Written another way, the SVD expresses A as a sum of rank-1 matrices:. Theorem Meyer, , p. The goal in using A k to approximate A is to choose k large enough to give a good approximation to A , yet small enough so that k r requires much less storage. Figure 6 shows the storage savings obtained with the truncated SVD in general.
A numerical example may make these concepts clearer. Suppose the original term-by-document matrix A is by The number of elements in the full matrix A representation is almost 4 times greater than the number of elements required by the truncated SVD. Larger data collections often have much greater storage savings.
PCA skips less significant components. The corresponding eigenvalue, often denoted by. Suppose P is the matrix of a projection onto a plane. If an n by n matrix has n distinct eigenvalues, then it must have n independent eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are by definition nonzero. Eigenvalues may be equal to zero. Solution: Since the matrix in question is not invertible, one of its eigenvalues must be 0.
A matrix is singular if and only if its determinant is zero. The determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. If any of the eigenvalues are zero then so is the determinant, and similarly if the determinant is zero it has zero as an eigenvalue. A square matrix is a diagonal matrix if and only if the off-diagonal entries are 0. Hence your matrix is diagonalizable.
In fact, if the eigenvalues are all distinct, then it is diagonalizable. A vector v for which this equation hold is called an eigenvector of the matrix A and the associated constant k is called the eigenvalue or characteristic value of the vector v. If a matrix has more than one eigenvector the associated eigenvalues can be different for the different eigenvectors. Any non-square matrix has no eigenvalue. Equivalently, the matrix being square is a necessary condition for A to have an eigenvalue.
In order to determine the eigenvectors of a matrix, you must first determine the eigenvalues. So a square matrix A of order n will not have more than n eigenvalues.
So the eigenvalues of D are a, b, c, and d, i. This result is valid for any diagonal matrix of any size. So depending on the values you have on the diagonal, you may have one eigenvalue, two eigenvalues, or more. Quandt Theorem 1. Viewed 2k times. P 2 2 silver badges 7 7 bronze badges.
Why those values are called as singular values. Is there any proper scientific reason? But it is true that if the matrix has singular values equal to zero, then the matrix is singular.
