[GRASS-user] Testing i.pca (continued...)

Wed Apr 29 13:32:11 EDT 2009

Hi all! Another i.pca -vs- prcomp() round :-)

# 1. There *must* be something in i.pca's code that prevents data
centering when using MODIS data???

  I tested... tested... & tested... (almost all tests below) and I just
can't understand WHY i.pca does NOT perform data centering when using
MODIS data (raw, rescaled at 0~255 or 0~254). All I get is:

  i.pca == prcomp(x, center=FALSE, scale=FALSE)

# 2. Note: there is _NO_ problem when using the spot or landsat5 data
from the spearfish location!

# 3. Can some programmer have a look at i.pca to check whether there is
a switch to (de-)activate data centering?

I don't want to update the wiki-page before I understand what is going
on. Any help?

Kindest regards, Nikos
=======================================================================

Quickly:

* using MODIS data I get:
-------------------------

 ** i.pca == prcomp(x, center=FALSE, scale=FALSE)

 ** if I center the data manually (as suggested by Agus), i.e.:

r.mapcalc "mod_b2_centered = mod_b2 - mean(mod_b2)"

  then I get:

i.pca(on centered data) == prcomp(x, center=TRUE, scale=FALSE)

 ** it also works if I further scale manually the data like:

r.mapcalc "mod_b2_centered_scaled = mod_b2_centered/stdev"

* using spot or landsat5 data I get:
------------------------------------

 ** i.pca == prcomp(x, center=TRUE, scale=FALSE)

Comments

Using already centered data does not make sense to use the parameter
"center=". Thus the only difference will be between _scaled_ and
_unscaled_ data prior to PCA.
