Summary

The fourth chapter introduces the singular value decomposition (SVD), a fundamental matrix factorization with broad applications in data science. The chapter begins by reviewing key linear algebra concepts, including matrix rank and the spectral theorem. It then explores the problem of finding the best low-dimensional approximating subspace to a set of data points, leading to the formal definition of the SVD. The power iteration method is presented as an efficient way to compute the top singular vectors and values. The chapter then demonstrates the application of SVD to principal components analysis (PCA), a dimensionality reduction technique that identifies the directions of maximum variance in data. Further applications of the SVD are discussed, including low-rank matrix approximations and ridge regression, a regularization technique for handling multicollinearity in linear systems.
