# Dimensional Reduction

`linfa-reduction` aims to provide pure Rust implementations of dimensional reduction algorithms. 

## The Big Picture

`linfa-reduction` is a crate in the [`linfa`](https://crates.io/crates/linfa) ecosystem, an effort to create a toolkit for classical Machine Learning implemented in pure Rust, akin to Python's `scikit-learn`.

## Current state

`linfa-reduction` currently provides an implementation of the following dimensional reduction methods: 
- Diffusion Mapping
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

## Examples

There is an usage example in the `examples/` directory. To run, use:

```bash
$ cargo run --release --example diffusion_map
$ cargo run --release --example pca
```

## BLAS/LAPACK backend

See [this section](../../README.md#blaslapack-backend) to enable an external BLAS/LAPACK backend.
