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 code writes files that can be processed by gnuplot() to create plots.

svd_snowfall is available in a C version and a C++ version and a Fortran77 version and a Fortran90 version and a MATLAB version and an Octave version and a Python version.
fingerprints, a dataset directory which contains a few images of fingerprints.
gnuplot_test, a C++ code which illustrate how a program can write data and command files so that gnuplot() can create plots of the program results.
svd_basis, a C++ code which applies the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to a set of vectors, extracting dominant modes;
svd_truncated, a C++ code which demonstrates the computation of the reduced or truncated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) that is useful for cases when one dimension of the matrix is much smaller than the other.
time_series, a dataset directory which contains examples of files describing time series.
