Given the desired size of matrix, the method returns a matrix S of size (n_rows, n_columns) where each column has all the entries set to 0 except for one position which has been randomly set to +1 or -1 with equal probability. Parameters ---------- n_rows: int Number of rows of S n_columns: int Number of columns of S seed : None or int or `numpy.random.RandomState` instance, optional This parameter defines the ``RandomState`` object to use for drawing random variates. If None (or ``np.random``), the global ``np.random`` state is used. If integer, it is used to seed the local ``RandomState`` instance. Default is None. Returns ------- S : (n_rows, n_columns) csc_matrix The returned matrix has ``n_columns`` nonzero entries. Notes ----- Given a matrix A, with probability at least 9/10, .. math:: \|SA\| = (1 \pm \epsilon)\|A\| Where the error epsilon is related to the size of S.

Given an input_matrix ``A`` of size ``(n, d)``, compute a matrix ``A'`` of size (sketch_size, d) so that .. math:: \|Ax\| \approx \|A'x\| with high probability via the Clarkson-Woodruff Transform, otherwise known as the CountSketch matrix. Parameters ---------- input_matrix: array_like Input matrix, of shape ``(n, d)``. sketch_size: int Number of rows for the sketch. seed : None or int or `numpy.random.RandomState` instance, optional This parameter defines the ``RandomState`` object to use for drawing random variates. If None (or ``np.random``), the global ``np.random`` state is used. If integer, it is used to seed the local ``RandomState`` instance. Default is None. Returns ------- A' : array_like Sketch of the input matrix ``A``, of size ``(sketch_size, d)``. Notes ----- To make the statement .. math:: \|Ax\| \approx \|A'x\| precise, observe the following result which is adapted from the proof of Theorem 14 of [2]_ via Markov's Inequality. If we have a sketch size ``sketch_size=k`` which is at least .. math:: k \geq \frac{2}{\epsilon^2\delta} Then for any fixed vector ``x``, .. math:: \|Ax\| = (1\pm\epsilon)\|A'x\| with probability at least one minus delta. This implementation takes advantage of sparsity: computing a sketch takes time proportional to ``A.nnz``. Data ``A`` which is in ``scipy.sparse.csc_matrix`` format gives the quickest computation time for sparse input. >>> from scipy import linalg >>> from scipy import sparse >>> n_rows, n_columns, density, sketch_n_rows = 15000, 100, 0.01, 200 >>> A = sparse.rand(n_rows, n_columns, density=density, format='csc') >>> B = sparse.rand(n_rows, n_columns, density=density, format='csr') >>> C = sparse.rand(n_rows, n_columns, density=density, format='coo') >>> D = np.random.randn(n_rows, n_columns) >>> SA = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(A, sketch_n_rows) # fastest >>> SB = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(B, sketch_n_rows) # fast >>> SC = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(C, sketch_n_rows) # slower >>> SD = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(D, sketch_n_rows) # slowest That said, this method does perform well on dense inputs, just slower on a relative scale. Examples -------- Given a big dense matrix ``A``: >>> from scipy import linalg >>> n_rows, n_columns, sketch_n_rows = 15000, 100, 200 >>> A = np.random.randn(n_rows, n_columns) >>> sketch = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(A, sketch_n_rows) >>> sketch.shape (200, 100) >>> norm_A = np.linalg.norm(A) >>> norm_sketch = np.linalg.norm(sketch) Now with high probability, the true norm ``norm_A`` is close to the sketched norm ``norm_sketch`` in absolute value. Similarly, applying our sketch preserves the solution to a linear regression of :math:`\min \|Ax - b\|`. >>> from scipy import linalg >>> n_rows, n_columns, sketch_n_rows = 15000, 100, 200 >>> A = np.random.randn(n_rows, n_columns) >>> b = np.random.randn(n_rows) >>> x = np.linalg.lstsq(A, b, rcond=None) >>> Ab = np.hstack((A, b.reshape(-1,1))) >>> SAb = linalg.clarkson_woodruff_transform(Ab, sketch_n_rows) >>> SA, Sb = SAb[:,:-1], SAb[:,-1] >>> x_sketched = np.linalg.lstsq(SA, Sb, rcond=None) As with the matrix norm example, ``np.linalg.norm(A @ x - b)`` is close to ``np.linalg.norm(A @ x_sketched - b)`` with high probability.
