# PCA

In this notebook, I will review a little bit about [PCA](https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.1100), implement [recursive PCA](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959152400000226), how PCA can be viewed as an optimization problem, and implement a constrained version of this optimization process for PCA applied on time-series by including a roughness penalty.

[Generalized PCA](https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.4002) will not be considered after careful consideration. Note: "Generalized PCA" is "an algebro-geometric solution to the problem of segmenting an unknown number of subspaces of unknown and varying dimensions from sample data points".


```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from matplotlib.patches import FancyArrowPatch
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import proj3d

from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
%matplotlib inline
```


```python
class Arrow3D(FancyArrowPatch):
    def __init__(self, xs, ys, zs, *args, **kwargs):
        FancyArrowPatch.__init__(self, (0,0), (0,0), *args, **kwargs)
        self._verts3d = xs, ys, zs

    def draw(self, renderer):
        xs3d, ys3d, zs3d = self._verts3d
        xs, ys, zs = proj3d.proj_transform(xs3d, ys3d, zs3d, renderer.M)
        self.set_positions((xs[0],ys[0]),(xs[1],ys[1]))
        FancyArrowPatch.draw(self, renderer)
```

Let's first start to apply PCA on the following toy example.


```python
# Toy data
X = np.array([[-1, -1],
              [-2, -1],
              [-3, -2],
              [1, 1],
              [2, 1],
              [3, 2]], dtype=np.float64) # NxT

# Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(5,4))
plt.scatter(X[:,0], X[:,1], color='b')
plt.arrow(0, 0, 1, 0, length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='k')
plt.arrow(0, 0, 0, 1, length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='')
plt.show()
```


```python
### PCA
n_components = 2 # number of principal axes that we want to keep

## Let's compute PCA from scratch
# 1. Center the data
mean = X.mean(axis=0)
X -= mean # note that the data was already centered
N = X.shape[0]

# 2. Compute the covariance matrix
CovX = 1./(N-1) * X.T.dot(X) # TxT (same as np.cov(X, rowvar=False)))

# 3. Compute the eigenvectors of this covariance matrix
# np.linalg.eigh is more efficient than np.linalg.eig for symmetric matrix
evals, evecs = np.linalg.eigh(CovX)

# 4. Sort the eigenvalues (in decreasing order) and eigenvectors
idx = np.argsort(evals)[::-1]
evals = evals[idx]
evecs = evecs[:,idx]

# 5. Form the projection matrix
P = evecs[:,:n_components]
print(P)

# 5. Project the data using the projection matrix
# This is the same as rotating the matrix X using P
Y = X.dot(P)
    
# 6. Compare it with standard PCA
pca = PCA(n_components=n_components)
pca = pca.fit(X)
Xnew = pca.transform(X)

print(pca.components_.T)
print(np.allclose(Xnew, Y))

# 7. Plot the data
plt.figure(figsize=(10,4))
plt.subplot(1,2,1)
plt.title('PCA: eigenvalues')
plt.bar(np.array([0.,0.1]), evals, width=0.1)
plt.xlim(0.,1.)

plt.subplot(1,2,2)
plt.title('PCA: data and eigenvectors')
plt.scatter(X[:,0], X[:,1], color='b')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[0])*P[0,0], np.sqrt(evals[0])*P[1,0],
          length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='b')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[1])*P[0,1], np.sqrt(evals[1])*P[1,1],
          length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='b')
plt.scatter(Y[:,0], Y[:,1], color='r')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[0]), 0, length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='r')
plt.arrow(0, 0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[1]), length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='r')
plt.show()
```

The covariance matrix can be recovered from these eigenvalues and eigenvectors.


```python
# Using the eigenvectors and eigenvalues, we can of course recover the covariance matrix
# Note: if P is not square, we have to fill it up.
np.allclose(CovX, P.dot(np.diag(evals)).dot(P.T))
```

Few properties:

* Applying PCA several times is the same as applying it one time. This is because PCA diagonalizes our matrix, thus applying PCA on a diagonal matrix will result in the same matrix.
* Applying PCA on a part of the data and another PCA on the other part, then applying PCA on the concatenation of both do not result in the same matrix as applying PCA on the whole data.
* Applying PCA on a rotated matrix does not give the same result as applying PCA on the initial matrix.


```python
# Here is the general method

def pca(X, normalize=False, copy=True):
    if copy:
        X = np.copy(X)

    # 1. Center the data
    mean = X.mean(axis=0)
    X -= mean
    N = X.shape[0]
    
    if normalize:
        X /= X.std(axis=0)

    # 2. Compute the covariance matrix
    CovX = 1./(N-1) * X.T.dot(X) # TxT (same as np.cov(X, rowvar=False)))

    # 3. Compute the eigenvectors of this covariance matrix
    # np.linalg.eigh is more efficient than np.linalg.eig for symmetric matrix
    evals, evecs = np.linalg.eigh(CovX)

    # 4. Sort the eigenvalues (in decreasing order) and eigenvectors
    idx = np.argsort(evals)[::-1]
    evals, evecs = evals[idx], evecs[:,idx]

    return evals, evecs
```

#### Applying PCA on time series

A fundamental question when applying PCA on time series is how to visualize this high dimensional data. Indeed, a sample $\pmb{x}(t) \in \mathbb{R}^T$. One way is to plot this $\pmb{x}(t)$ where the x-axis is the time, and y-axis is $x(t)$. Each time $t_i$ $(\forall i \in \{0,...,T\})$ represents a dimension. By plotting a vertical line at time $t=t_i$, we can see the variance in this particular dimension.

For an infinite vector, or function, check about *Functional PCA*.

## Recursive PCA

Let's now apply **recursive PCA** on this toy example, with 3 new samples coming at different time steps.


```python
# Let's augment our matrix with 3 new samples
Xs = np.array([[-1,1],
               [-3,0],
               [-4,-1]], dtype=np.float64)

n_components = 2
k = float(N)
R = CovX
X_aug = X
mean = X.mean(axis=0).reshape(-1,1)
print(evals)
for x in Xs:
    x = x.reshape(-1,1)
    X_aug = np.vstack((X_aug, x.T))
    X_aug1 = X_aug - X_aug.mean(axis=0)
    pca = PCA(n_components=n_components)
    pca = pca.fit(X_aug1)
    #print(pca.get_covariance())

    # Recursive PCA
    new_mean = k/(k+1) * mean + 1./(k+1) * x
    diff_mean = (new_mean - mean)
    R = (k-1)/k * R + diff_mean.dot(diff_mean.T) + 1./k * (x-new_mean).dot((x-new_mean).T)
    #print(R)
    print("The cov of the whole augmented matrix is equal to the recursive cov: {0}".format(
            np.allclose(pca.get_covariance(), R)))
    k+=1
    mean = new_mean
    
    evals = np.linalg.eigh(R)[0]
    idx = np.argsort(evals)[::-1]
    evals = evals[idx]
    print(evals)

# Compute the new projection matrix
evals, evecs = np.linalg.eigh(R)
idx = np.argsort(evals)[::-1]
evals, evecs = evals[idx], evecs[:,idx]
P = evecs[:,:n_components]
Y = X_aug.dot(P)
    
# Plot the data
plt.figure(figsize=(10,4))
plt.subplot(1,2,1)
plt.title('PCA: eigenvalues')
plt.bar(np.array([0.,0.1]), evals, width=0.1)
plt.xlim(0.,1.)

plt.subplot(1,2,2)
plt.title('PCA: data and eigenvectors')
plt.scatter(X_aug[:,0], X_aug[:,1], color='b')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[0])*P[0,0], np.sqrt(evals[0])*P[1,0],
          length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='b')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[1])*P[0,1], np.sqrt(evals[1])*P[1,1],
          length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='b')
plt.scatter(Y[:,0], Y[:,1], color='r')
plt.arrow(0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[0]), 0, length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='r')
plt.arrow(0, 0, 0, np.sqrt(evals[1]), length_includes_head = True, head_width = 0.15, color='r')
plt.show()
```

Let's now add a sample that can not be modeled by a linear combination of the principal axes, i.e. which is orthogonal to the current covariance matrix. Then, as usual, let's apply recursive PCA on it.


```python
# Let's add a sample that can not be modeled by a linear combination of the principal axes
# i.e. which is orthogonal to the current covariance matrix.
# Then, let's apply recursive PCA on it.

# New 3D sample
x = np.array([1,-1,1], dtype=np.float64).reshape(-1,1)

# Reshaping previous values (pad a column/row of zeros)
X_aug = np.pad(X_aug, ((0,0), (0,1)), mode='constant') # Nx(T+1)
mean = np.pad(mean, ((0,1),(0,0)), mode='constant')
R = np.pad(R, ((0,1),(0,1)), mode='constant')

# Adding new sample and compute mean
X_aug = np.vstack((X_aug, x.T))
X_aug1 = X_aug - X_aug.mean(axis=0)

# Use sklearn PCA
n_components = 3
pca = PCA(n_components=n_components)
pca = pca.fit(X_aug1)
#print(pca.get_covariance())

# Recursive PCA
new_mean = k/(k+1) * mean + 1./(k+1) * x
diff_mean = (new_mean - mean)
R = (k-1)/k * R + diff_mean.dot(diff_mean.T) + 1./k * (x-new_mean).dot((x-new_mean).T)
#print(R)
print("The cov of the whole augmented matrix is equal to the recursive cov: {0}".format(
            np.allclose(pca.get_covariance(), R)))
k+=1
mean = new_mean
#print('-'*30)

# Compute the new projection matrix
evals, evecs = np.linalg.eigh(R)
idx = np.argsort(evals)[::-1]
evals, evecs = evals[idx], evecs[:,idx]
P = evecs[:,:n_components]
Y = X_aug.dot(P)
    
# Plot the data
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,4))
plt.subplot(1,2,1)
plt.title('PCA: eigenvalues')
plt.bar(np.array([0.,0.1,0.2]), evals, width=0.1)
plt.xlim(0.,1.)

ax = fig.add_subplot(122, projection='3d')
ax.set_title('PCA: data and eigenvectors')
ax.scatter(X_aug[:,0], X_aug[:,1], X_aug[:,2])
# From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22867620/putting-arrowheads-on-vectors-in-matplotlibs-3d-plot
for v in evecs:
    a = Arrow3D([0., v[0]], [0., v[1]], [0., v[2]],
                mutation_scale=20, lw=1, arrowstyle="-|>", color="b")
    ax.add_artist(a)
ax.scatter(Y[:,0], Y[:,1], Y[:,2], color='r')
a = Arrow3D([0., evals[0]], [0., evals[1]], [0., evals[2]],
            mutation_scale=20, lw=1, arrowstyle="-|>", color="r")
ax.add_artist(a)

plt.show()
```

## PCA as an Optimization Problem

PCA can be viewed as an optimization problem in 2 different ways. Theses 2 approaches are equivalent.
1. Maximize the variance of the projected data.
2. Minimize the reconstruction error in a least-square sense.

Mathematically, here is the optimization problem that we are trying to solve:

\begin{equation}
    \max_{\pmb{v_i}} \: \pmb{v_i}^T \pmb{X}^T \pmb{X v_i} \quad \mbox{subj. to} \quad \begin{array}{l} \pmb{v_i}^T \pmb{v_i} = 1 \\ \pmb{v_i}^T \pmb{v_j} = 0
\end{array},
\end{equation}
$\forall i \in \{1,...,D\}, \forall 1\leq j < i$.

# define optimization method
# By default, it will be 'BFGS', 'L-BFGS-B', or 'SLSQP' depending on the constraints and bounds
method = None

# define constraints
constraints = [{'type': 'eq', 'fun': lambda u: u.T.dot(u) - 1}]

# Minimize --> it returns an instance of OptimizeResult

### Using CVXPY

Note: You **cannot** use `cvxpy` for this problem, as we are trying to maximize a convex function, and `cvxpy` only accepts to maximize a concave fct.


```python
import cvxpy as cvx

# cache the 'covariance' matrix
C = X.T.dot(X)/(N-1)

# define vector to optimize
u1 = cvx.Variable(X.shape[1])
print(cvx.quad_form(u1, C).is_dcp())
print(cvx.quad_form(u1, C).is_quadratic())

# define objective fct to maximize
#f = cvx.Maximize(u1.T*C*u1) 
f = cvx.Maximize(cvx.quad_form(u1, C)) # this does not work!
#f = cvx.Minimize(cvx.quad_form(u1, C)) # this works (if no constraints) but that is not what we want to achieve!
constraints = [u1.T*u1 == 1]
prob = cvx.Problem(f, constraints)

result = prob.solve()
print(u1.value)
```

### Using NLopt

Nonlinear optimization algorithms that can handle nonlinear inequality and **equality** constraints are:
* ISRES (Improved Stochastic Ranking Evolution Strategy) $\rightarrow$ global derivative-free
* COBYLA (Constrained Optimization BY Linear Approximations) $\rightarrow$ local derivative-free
* SLSQP (Sequential Least-SQuares Programming) $\rightarrow$ local gradient-based
* AUGLAG (AUGmented LAGrangian) $\rightarrow$ global/local derivative-free/gradient based (determined based on the subsidiary algo)

More information about the various algorithms can be found on this [link](https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NLopt_Algorithms/).

For comparison purpose, we obtained the following values with scipy ('SLSQP'):

[ 7.93954312  0.06045688] <br>
[[ 0.83849224 -0.54491355] <br>
 [ 0.54491353  0.83849226]]

And these values using std PCA:

[ 7.93954312  0.06045688] <br>
[[-0.83849224  0.54491354] <br>
