First singular value

The damping ratios can be identified through the refinement of the EDD technique, namely, the enhanced frequency domain decomposition (EEDD, Brincker et al. 2001). The EEDD technique is based on the fact that the first singular value in the neighborhood of a resonant peak is the ASD of a modal coordinate. Hence, moving the partially identified ASD of the modal coordinate back in the time...

It may look weird to treat the Singular Value Decomposition SVD technique as a tool for data transformation, simply because SVD is the same as PCA. However, if we recall how PCR (Principal Component Regression) works, then we are really allowed to handle SVD in the way mentioned above. Indeed, what we do with PCR is, first of all, to transform the initial data matrix X in the way described by Eqs. (10) and (11). 

Correspondence factor analysis can be described in three steps. First, one applies a transformation to the data which involves one of the three types of closure that have been described in the previous section. This step also defines two vectors of weight coefficients, one for each of the two dual spaces. The second step comprises a generalization of the usual singular value decomposition (SVD) or eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) to the case of weighted metrics. In the third and last step, one constructs a biplot for the geometrical representation of the rows and columns in a low-dimensional space of latent vectors. 

It should be appreciated that canonical correlation analysis, as the name implies, is about correlation not about variance. The first step in the algorithm is to move from the original data matrices X and Y, to their singular vectors, Ux and Uy, respectively. The singular values, or the variances of the PCs of X and Y, play no role. 

We now have enough information to find our Scores matrix and Loadings matrix. First of all the Loadings matrix is simply the right singular values matrix or the V matrix this matrix is referred to as the P matrix in principal components analysis terminology. The Scores matrix is calculated as... 

In most SVD algorithms, the singular values are arranged in Esv in descending order. Thus, the first Nr rows of M yield the reacting scalars and the remaining N rows yield the conserved scalars. 

The basic principle of EFA is very simple. Instead of subjecting the complete matrix Y to the Singular Value Decomposition, specific sub-matrices of Y are analysed. In the original EFA, these sub-matrices are formed by the first i spectra of Y where i increases from 1 to the total number of spectra, ns. The appearance of a new compound during the acquisition of the data is indicated by the emergence of a new significant singular value. 

The rank is the number of significant singular values. The significance level can be estimated as the first non-significant singular value of the total matrix Y. 

The first equation is the well-known Singular Value Decomposition. In the context of PCR the eigenvectors U form the basis for the column vectors of Y. The second equation in (5.72) attempts to also represent the column vector q of qualities in the same space U. If both representations are good then PCR works well, resulting in accurate predictions. A potential drawback of PCR is the fact that U is defined solely by Y. Even if there is good reasoning for a relationship between q and U, as indicated in the derivation of equation (5.60), it is somehow accidental. ... 

The controllability analysis was conducted in two parts. The theoretical control properties of the three schemes were first predicted through the use of the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique, and then closed-loop dynamic simulations were conducted to analyze the control behavior of each system and to compare those results with the theoretical predictions provided by SVD. 

The multiple linear regression (MLR) method was historically the first and, until now, the most popular method used for building QSPR models. In MLR, a property is represented as a weighted linear combination of descriptor values F=ATX, where F is a column vector of property to be predicted, X is a matrix of descriptor values, and A is a column vector of adjustable coefficients calculated as A = (XTX) XTY. The latter equation can be applied only if the matrix XTX can be inverted, which requires linear independence of the descriptors ( multicollinearity problem ). If this is not the case, special techniques (e.g., singular value decomposition (SVD)26) should be applied. 

There has been some discussion as to whether CD can distinguish parallel from antiparallel p sheets. As stable, well-defined model compounds are lacking, the spectra available have been derived from secondary structure deconvolutions (see below). Overall, the ability of CD to provide adequate estimates of both parallel and antiparallel p sheet contents is still an ongoing question. Johnson and co-workers were the first to derive basis spectra which corresponded to both parallel and antiparallel p sheet structures in globular proteins using the singular value deconvolution method [11, 12, 51-53], However, the basis spectra were significantly different from spectra reported for model sleet structures. Recently, Perczel et al. [54] employed another approach, convex curve analysis, to obtain improved p sheet baas spectra. The major improvement was to include more p sheet proteins into the data base.
