The proof of shrinking coefficients using ridge regression through "spectral decomposition"
The question appears to ask for a demonstration that Ridge Regression shrinks coefficient estimates towards zero, using a spectral decomposition. … The spectral decomposition can be understood as an easy consequence of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Therefore, this post starts with SVD. …

Is PCA optimization convex?
If you keep close watch, you can see the SVD and Lagrange multipliers lurking--but they're just a sideshow, there for scenic interest, and I won't comment on them further. … A good way to think about the problem $(**)$--even if you don't intend to carry out the corresponding calculations--is in terms of the Spectral Theorem. …

Why does Andrew Ng prefer to use SVD and not EIG of covariance matrix to do PCA?
I cannot access some relevant SIAM papers from my institution (blame research cutbacks) but I found something that might support the assessment that the SVD routine is more stable. … "Stable and efficient spectral divide and conquer algorithms for the symmetric eigenvalue decomposition and the SVD." SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing 35.3 (2013): A1325-A1349. …

What is French data analysis?
Greenacre also noted an important connection to generalised SVD and generated for me the only easily readable book on the topic. Discussions can get caustic -- see de Leeuw's review of Murtagh. … With a simple crosstab one might compare the 'French' style of simple Correspondence Analysis based on spectral decomposition of a suitably transformed table, with Association modeling (e.g. by Goodman …

Automatic keyword extraction: using cosine similarities as features
Spectral Clustering
Another way would be to apply spectral clustering. You'll need to supply a similarity matrix, which you already have, and it will find clusters on it. … be useful: https://gist.github.com/mblondel/6230787
Non-Negative Matrix Factorization
Finally, you can cluster you term-document matrix with some decomposition techniques from Linear Algebra, like SVD …

Maximum penalty for ridge regression
Specifically, if SVD of the design matrix is $X=USV^\top$, then $$\hat\beta_\mathrm{ridge} = V \frac{S}{S^2+\lambda I} U^\top y.$$
This is explained multiple times on our website, see e.g. … @whuber's detailed exposition here: The proof of shrinking coefficients using ridge regression through "spectral decomposition". …

When there are more variables than observations do shrinkage methods (such as Ridge and Lass...
You can alternatively show this by applying SVD, and showing that the singular values in the ridge case are all positive. … The proof of shrinking coefficients using ridge regression through "spectral decomposition" However, as a matter of doing computation on a computer (not mathematics), choosing $\lambda$ too small may not …

How to perform PCA for data of very high dimensionality?
If you want to do PCA on the correlation matrix, you will need to standardize the columns of your data matrix before applying the SVD. … You can verify with some algebra that this gives you the same answer as doing the spectral decomposition of the sample covariance matrix. …

Explaining dimensionality reduction using SVD (without reference to PCA)
The SVD can be linked to dimensionality reduction from the standpoint of low rank matrix approximation. … For example, unitarily invariant norms include the Ky Fan k-norms and Schatten p-norms, which include the common Frobenius, spectral, and nuclear norms as special cases. …

SVD : Why right singular matrix is written as transpose
This is generalized by the SVD, which tells you that any linear transformation is a sum of such rank-one maps, and, what's more, you can arrange for the summands to be orthogonal. … A special case of this is the spectral decomposition for a positive semidefinite matrix $A$, where $U = V$ and the $u_i$'s are the eigenvectors of $A$---the summands $u_i u_i^T$ are rank-one orthogonal …

Principal components: Can I interpret PCA as essentially a change of basis
Relationship between SVD and PCA. How to use SVD to perform PCA?
Why are principal components in PCA (eigenvectors of the covariance matrix) mutually orthogonal? … I understand how principal components works as a linear dimensional reduction method, using the spectral decomposition of some matrix $X$. …

Confirming an understanding of SVD
``A common application of SVD is to make low-rank approximations to a matrix, $A$''
This is one of the applications of the SVD but the SVD can do very many mathematical operations: Solve linear equations … This is true for the Frobenius norm as well as the spectral norm, $\|A-B\|_2$, where the spectral norm is defined as the largest singular value of the matrix. …

Why does NMF of a symmetric matrix yield orthogonal matrices which are not transpose identical?
