Hi List,
we intend to compute a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on a long time series
of various oceanographic variables (ie. sea-surface temperature anomalies). The
input would consist of a multiple gridded fields from which the covariance
matrix will be calculated. The output of the principal component analysis
operation is:
- an output matrix denoting the transformation coefficients (calculated from
the covariance matrix),
- an output list of computed fields containing the set of transformed input
fields, or the components.
We noticed there are some matrix functions available already in visad-IDV
though these JAMA wrappers:
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/visad-docs/javadoc/visad/matrix/package-summary.html.
visad.Matrix works on FlatFieldImpl, see
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/visad-docs/javadoc/Jama/class-use/Matrix.html. Can a
single-banded image/grid be here be passed on as FlatFieldImpl?
Anyone who ever tried (or has an idea) of how the Spatial PCA could be done?
Any third party JAVA components one could advise to call IDV's jython library?
