svd_snowfall, a C code which demonstrates the use of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to analyze a set of historical snowfall data, with plots created by gnuplot().
The snowfall data consists of records for the winters of 1890-1891 to 2023-2024, 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.
The sample problem writes files that can be processed by GNUPLOT to create plots.
