Sammon mapping or Sammon projection is an algorithm that maps a high-dimensional space to a space of lower dimensionality (see multidimensional scaling) by trying to preserve the structure of inter-point distances in high-dimensional space in the lower-dimension projection. [1] It is particularly suited for use in exploratory data analysis.
This map is always surjective and, when each space X k has a topology, this map is also continuous and open. [2] A mapping that takes an element to its equivalence class under a given equivalence relation is known as the canonical projection. [3] The evaluation map sends a function f to the value f(x) for a fixed x.
The vector projection (also known as the vector component or vector resolution) of a vector a on (or onto) a nonzero vector b is the orthogonal projection of a onto a straight line parallel to b. The projection of a onto b is often written as proj b a {\displaystyle \operatorname {proj} _{\mathbf {b} }\mathbf {a} } or a ∥ b .
A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional (2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane.
A square matrix is called a projection matrix if it is equal to its square, i.e. if =. [2]: p. 38 A square matrix is called an orthogonal projection matrix if = = for a real matrix, and respectively = = for a complex matrix, where denotes the transpose of and denotes the adjoint or Hermitian transpose of .
The function has positive values at points x inside Ω, it decreases in value as x approaches the boundary of Ω where the signed distance function is zero, and it takes negative values outside of Ω. [1] However, the alternative convention is also sometimes taken instead (i.e., negative inside Ω and positive outside). [2]
The process of interpolation maps the function f to a polynomial p. This defines a mapping X from the space C([a, b]) of all continuous functions on [a, b] to itself. The map X is linear and it is a projection on the subspace () of polynomials of degree n or less. The Lebesgue constant L is defined as the operator norm of X.
A matrix, has its column space depicted as the green line. The projection of some vector onto the column space of is the vector . From the figure, it is clear that the closest point from the vector onto the column space of , is , and is one where we can draw a line orthogonal to the column space of .
