make_PCs_irlba: Run Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using the irlba...

Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples

Description

A simple wrapper around the irlba() function which computes a partial SVD efficiently. This function's run time depends on the number of eigenvectors requested but scales well. Use this function to generate covariates for use with the okriging or krigr_cross_validation functions.

Usage

1
make_PCs_irlba(X, n.top = 2)

Arguments

X

A correlation matrix.

n.top

Number of top principal compenents to return

Value

A matrix of Principal Components of dimension (# of samples) x (n.top). As expected, eigenvectors are ordered by eigenvalue. Rownames are given as sample IDs.

 ## compute correlation matrix
