sklearn.utils.extmath.randomized_range_finder(A, *, size, n_iter, power_iteration_normalizer='auto', random_state=None) [source]

Computes an orthonormal matrix whose range approximates the range of A.

Parameters

A2D array

The input data matrix.

sizeint

Size of the return array.

n_iterint

Number of power iterations used to stabilize the result.

power_iteration_normalizer{‘auto’, ‘QR’, ‘LU’, ‘none’}, default=’auto’

Whether the power iterations are normalized with step-by-step QR factorization (the slowest but most accurate), ‘none’ (the fastest but numerically unstable when n_iter is large, e.g. typically 5 or larger), or ‘LU’ factorization (numerically stable but can lose slightly in accuracy). The ‘auto’ mode applies no normalization if n_iter <= 2 and switches to LU otherwise.

New in version 0.18.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data, i.e. getting the random vectors to initialize the algorithm. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Returns

Qndarray

A (size x size) projection matrix, the range of which approximates well the range of the input matrix A.
