Dimensionality reduction techniques for order-3 tensors

Project description

tred
----
tred implements a range of order-3 tensor decompositions. Mathematically,
they rely on a novel tensor algebra introduced in [1]. In this, analogues of
SVD, PCA, and PLS can be formulated, sharing many optimality properties with
their matrix counterparts.

The only top-level dependency, for an end user, is scikit-learn. We adopt many
of their utilities and design patterns so tred is very natural to anyone with
experience with the scipy/scikit-learn stack.

For the underlying tensor-product framework and tensor t-SVDM, see [1].
For the explicit rank truncation, and the TCAM algorithm, see [2].

NOTE: In literature, the authors use m, p, n as the dimensions of the tensors,
whereas throughout this package one will see we prefer n, p, t instead. We will
also use k = min(n, p), where from an `omics analysis perspective, typically
means k = n, as p >> n typically.

Credit
------
Our implementation was inspired by analogues at
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn
And also by
https://github.com/UriaMorP/mprod_package

Future
------
We have placed a heavy emphasis on mathematical interpretability of the
source code and computational efficiency (within the constraints of our
dependencies) to fit within highly iterative machine-learning and statistical
analysis workflows.

New experimental methods may also be added to tred. Users are highly encouraged
to visit the GitHub site, and open issues. We are very interested in optimizing
the efficiency of the existing implementations if the need arises.
