matlab pca "als" #3

Closed lxzdong closed 4 years ago

lxzdong commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I checked different documents, and found that pcaMethods follows the algorithms of BPCA and PPCA in Matlab, and provides equivalent functions for them.

However, anther frequently adopted method in Matlab is the "als" method under the default pca function. So, do we have an equivalent function in pcaMethods for the "als" under the pca function in Matlab?

Thank you, Russell

Hi! No, do you have a reference to that algorithm?

Hi,

Please use the following link for a quick reference (you can just search for 'als' on that page), and I also paste two screenshots just for your information.

The "als", alternating least squares, is a bult-in method from Matlab's default pca function.

Thanks,

Looks like a nice algorithm but sadly don't have the time to work on that so will close this issue :/
