<!-- subsequent paragraphs come in larger fonts, so start with a paragraph -->
<p>The examples we have looked at so far are cases where we normally can
invert the matrix \( \boldsymbol{X}^T\boldsymbol{X} \). Using a polynomial expansion where we fit of various functions leads to
row vectors of the design matrix which are essentially orthogonal due
to the polynomial character of our model. Obtaining the inverse of the
design matrix is then often done via a so-called LU, QR or Cholesky
decomposition.
</p>
<p>As we will also see in the first project,
this may
however not the be case in general and a standard matrix inversion
algorithm based on say LU, QR or Cholesky decomposition may lead to singularities. We will see examples of this below.
</p>
<p>There is however a way to circumvent this problem and also
gain some insights about the ordinary least squares approach, and
later shrinkage methods like Ridge and Lasso regressions.
</p>
<p>This is given by the <b>Singular Value Decomposition</b> (SVD) algorithm,
perhaps the most powerful linear algebra algorithm. The SVD provides
a numerically stable matrix decomposition that is used in a large
swath oc applications and the decomposition is always stable
numerically.
</p>
<p>In machine learning it plays a central role in dealing with for
example design matrices that may be near singular or singular.
Furthermore, as we will see here, the singular values can be related
to the covariance matrix (and thereby the correlation matrix) and in
turn the variance of a given quantity. It plays also an important role
in the principal component analysis where high-dimensional data can be
reduced to the statistically relevant features.
