SVD_SNOWFALL, a MATLAB library which demonstrates the use of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to analyze a set of historical snowfall data.
The snowfall data consists of records for the winters of 1890-1891 to 2016-2017, of the snowfall in inches, over the months from October to May, as measured at Michigan Tech.
This data can be regarded as an 8 by 127 matrix A. Applying the singular value decomposition produces the factors
A = U * S * V'and it is the purpose of this library to consider what these factors indicate about the snowfall data.

SVD_SNOWFALL is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version and a Python version.
FINGERPRINTS, a dataset directory which contains a few images of fingerprints.
SVD_BASIS, a MATLAB program which computes a reduced basis for a collection of data vectors using the SVD.
SVD_FINGERPRINT, a MATLAB program which reads a file containing a fingerprint image and uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) to compute and display a series of low rank approximations to the image.
SVD_GRAY, a MATLAB program which reads a gray scale image, computes the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and constructs a series of low rank approximations to the image.
SVD_TRUNCATED, a MATLAB program which demonstrates the computation of the reduced or truncated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of an M by N rectangular matrix, in cases where M < N or N < M.
TIME_SERIES, a dataset directory which contains examples of files describing time series.
