class sklearn.decomposition.IncrementalPCA(n_components=None, *, whiten=False, copy=True, batch_size=None) [source]
 
Incremental principal components analysis (IPCA). Linear dimensionality reduction using Singular Value Decomposition of the data, keeping only the most significant singular vectors to project the data to a lower dimensional space. The input data is centered but not scaled for each feature before applying the SVD. Depending on the size of the input data, this algorithm can be much more memory efficient than a PCA, and allows sparse input. This algorithm has constant memory complexity, on the order of batch_size * n_features, enabling use of np.memmap files without loading the entire file into memory. For sparse matrices, the input is converted to dense in batches (in order to be able to subtract the mean) which avoids storing the entire dense matrix at any one time. The computational overhead of each SVD is O(batch_size * n_features ** 2), but only 2 * batch_size samples remain in memory at a time. There will be n_samples / batch_size SVD computations to get the principal components, versus 1 large SVD of complexity O(n_samples * n_features ** 2) for PCA. Read more in the User Guide.  New in version 0.16.   Parameters 
 
n_componentsint, default=None 

Number of components to keep. If n_components is None, then n_components is set to min(n_samples, n_features).  
whitenbool, default=False 

When True (False by default) the components_ vectors are divided by n_samples times components_ to ensure uncorrelated outputs with unit component-wise variances. Whitening will remove some information from the transformed signal (the relative variance scales of the components) but can sometimes improve the predictive accuracy of the downstream estimators by making data respect some hard-wired assumptions.  
copybool, default=True 

If False, X will be overwritten. copy=False can be used to save memory but is unsafe for general use.  
batch_sizeint, default=None 

The number of samples to use for each batch. Only used when calling fit. If batch_size is None, then batch_size is inferred from the data and set to 5 * n_features, to provide a balance between approximation accuracy and memory consumption.    Attributes 
 
components_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features) 

Components with maximum variance.  
explained_variance_ndarray of shape (n_components,) 

Variance explained by each of the selected components.  
explained_variance_ratio_ndarray of shape (n_components,) 

Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components. If all components are stored, the sum of explained variances is equal to 1.0.  
singular_values_ndarray of shape (n_components,) 

The singular values corresponding to each of the selected components. The singular values are equal to the 2-norms of the n_components variables in the lower-dimensional space.  
mean_ndarray of shape (n_features,) 

Per-feature empirical mean, aggregate over calls to partial_fit.  
var_ndarray of shape (n_features,) 

Per-feature empirical variance, aggregate over calls to partial_fit.  
noise_variance_float 

The estimated noise covariance following the Probabilistic PCA model from Tipping and Bishop 1999. See “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning” by C. Bishop, 12.2.1 p. 574 or http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf.  
n_components_int 

The estimated number of components. Relevant when n_components=None.  
n_samples_seen_int 

The number of samples processed by the estimator. Will be reset on new calls to fit, but increments across partial_fit calls.  
batch_size_int 

Inferred batch size from batch_size.      See also

  Notes Implements the incremental PCA model from: D. Ross, J. Lim, R. Lin, M. Yang, Incremental Learning for Robust Visual Tracking, International Journal of Computer Vision, Volume 77, Issue 1-3, pp. 125-141, May 2008. See https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dross/ivt/RossLimLinYang_ijcv.pdf This model is an extension of the Sequential Karhunen-Loeve Transform from: A. Levy and M. Lindenbaum, Sequential Karhunen-Loeve Basis Extraction and its Application to Images, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, Volume 9, Number 8, pp. 1371-1374, August 2000. See https://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~mic/doc/skl-ip.pdf We have specifically abstained from an optimization used by authors of both papers, a QR decomposition used in specific situations to reduce the algorithmic complexity of the SVD. The source for this technique is Matrix Computations, Third Edition, G. Holub and C. Van Loan, Chapter 5, section 5.4.4, pp 252-253.. This technique has been omitted because it is advantageous only when decomposing a matrix with n_samples (rows) >= 5/3 * n_features (columns), and hurts the readability of the implemented algorithm. This would be a good opportunity for future optimization, if it is deemed necessary. References D. Ross, J. Lim, R. Lin, M. Yang.
