Rust PCA library

This is a rust library for performing principal component analysis (PCA). It supports:

• Fitting a PCA model on a data matrix
• Projecting data into the PCA space
• Specifying variance explained tolerance to reduce dimensionality

The implementation follows R's prcomp, and should provide equivalent results with minor differences due to numerical stability and the ambiguity of component sign. Tests confirm the correspondence. The PCA is obtained via SVD.

Usage

```rust use pca::PCA; use ndarray::array;

// Create PCA instance let mut pca = PCA::new();

// Input data let x = array![[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]];

// Fit PCA model
pca.fit(x.clone(), None).unwrap();

// Project data let transformed = pca.transform(x).unwrap(); ```

The fit() method computes the PCA rotation matrix, mean and scaling factors. It takes the input data and an optional variance explained tolerance.

The transform() method applies the PCA rotation to project new data into the PCA space.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] pca = "0.1.0"

Or just cargo add pca to get the latest version.
