Lately I'm getting this error quite a bit: Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv) : error code 1 from Lapack routine 'dgesdd' I'm running R 2.5.0 on a 64 bit Intel machine running Fedora (8 I think). Maybe the 64 bit platform is more fragile about declaring convergence. I'm seeing way more of these errors than I ever have before. From R-Help I see that this issue comes up from time to

Hello, I have a matrix equation, Ax=b, that I need to solve for x. x should be a vector of positive numbers (between 0 and 1). A is not a square matrix in general. This lead me to using the SVD. However, using the SVD gives me positive and negative numbers, as well. I have some constraints included in the A matrix itself (i.e., that the sum of some xi should be equal to 1) but I do not know how

Dear R list users, the singluar value decomposition of a symmetric matrix M is UDV^(T), where U = V. La.svd(M) gives as output three elements: the diagonal of D and the two orthogonal matrices u and vt (which is already the transpose of v). I noticed that the transpose of vt is not exactly u. Why is that? thank you for your attention and your help Stefano AVVISO IMPORTANTE: Questo messaggio di

Hey, All In principal component analysis (PCA), we want to know how many percentage the first principal component explain the total variances among the data. Assume the data matrix X is zero-meaned, and I used the following procedures: C = covriance(X) %% calculate the covariance matrix; [EVector,EValues]=eig(C) %% L = diag(EValues) %%L is a column vector with eigenvalues as the elements percent

Hi, I'm just wondering if it is planned to include the Lapack routine DGESDD (and friends) in R-1.4.0? This is faster (supposedly by a factor of ~6 for large matrices) than DGESVD which is currently (R-1.3.1) called by La.svd. And if it is not in the plans yet, is there a chance it could be? I've added it to my local version of R-1.3.1 and so far see a factor of 4 improvement over

Hi, I'm trying to do PCA on a n by p wide matrix (n < p), and I'd like to get more principal components than there are rows. However, svd() only returns a V matrix of with n columns (instead of p) unless the argument nv=p is set (prcomp calls svd without setting it). Moreover, the eigenvalues returned are always min(n, p) instead of p, even if nv is set: > x <-

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, this is probably simple and I'm just doing something stupid, sorry about that :-) I'm trying to convert words (strings of letters) into a fairly small dimensional space (say 10, but anything between about 5 and 50 would be ok), which I will call a feature vector. The the distance between two words represents the similarity of the

Dear All, I need to perform a SVD on a very large data matrix, of dimension ~ 500,000 x 1,000 , and I am looking for an efficient algorithm that can perform an approximate (partial) SVD to extract on the order of the top 50 right and left singular vectors. Would be very grateful for any advice on what R-packages are available to perform such a task, what the RAM requirement is, and indeed what

Hello, I was wondering whether anyone out there knows of the solution to a problem that I'm having with the Fields package. I am getting the error message when I try and run the fields function tps (thin plate splines). Namely, for two different sets of variables, I get: > bout <- Tps( bvolcap, bdsm) Error in svd(tempM) : error 159 in dsvdc > wout <- Tps( wvolcap, wdsm)

Hello! I suppose this is more a matrix theory question than a question on R, but I will give it a try... I am using La.svd to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a variance matrix, i.e., a symmetric nonnegative definite square matrix. Let S be my variance matrix, and S = U D V' be its SVD. In my numerical experiments I always got U = V. Is this necessarily the case? Or I might

I am trying to perform Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) on a Term Document Matrix I created using the 'tm' package. Eventually I want to do a Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). There are 5677 documents with 771 terms (the DTM is 771 x 5677). When I try to do the SVD, it runs out of memory. I am using a 12GB Dual core Machine with Windows XP and don't think I can increase the memory

Dear R-helpers, could anybody explain me briefly what is the difference between eigenvectors returned by 'eigen' and 'svd' functions and how they are related? Thanks in advance Ondrej Mikula

Dear R-devel, I had attempted to compile r-devel (dated Oct. 31, 2001) on WinNT with link to ATLAS, with mostly success.

Hello, I am trying to run an ordinal logistic regression (polr) using the package 'MASS'. I have successfully run other regression classes (glm, multinom) without much problem, but with the 'polr' class I get the following error: " Error in svd(X) : infinite or missing values in 'x' " which appears when I run the "summary" command. The data file is

Hi: I create a hermitian matrix and then perform its singular value decomposition. But when I put it back, I don't get the original hermitian matrix. I am having the same problem with spectral value decomposition as well. I am using R 1.7.0 on Windows. Here is my code: X <- matrix(rnorm(16)+1i*rnorm(16),4) X <- X + t(X) X[upper.tri(X)] <- Conj(X[upper.tri(X)]) Y <-

Hi, I met a probem recently and need your help. I would really appreciate it. I kept receiving the following error message when running a program: 'Error in svd(X) : infinite or missing values in x'. However, I did not use any svd function in this program though I did include the function pseudoinverse. Is the problem caused by doing pseudoinverse? Best regards, Tongtong

Dear All, Under Debian GNU/Linux La.svd (with method = "dgesdd") sometimes gives the error "Error in La.svd(data, nu = 0, nv = min(nrow, ncol), method = "dgesdd") : LAPACK routine DGESDD gave error code -12" It seems not to depend on the data per se, but on the relationship between numbers of rows and columns. For example, if the number of columns is 100,
