LLE

Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) seeks a lower-dimensional projection of the data which preserves distances within local neighborhoods.

How It Works

Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) represents each data point as a linear combination of its nearest neighbors. It then finds a low-dimensional embedding that preserves these local linear relationships.

Why or When to Use

Use LLE when the data lies on a non-linear manifold and you want to preserve local neighborhood distances (local geometry) while unfolding the manifold.

Example

How-to (Code)

javascript
import * as druid from "@saehrimnir/druidjs";

const data = [
  /* ... multi-dimensional data ... */
];

// 1. Initialize the algorithm
const lle = new druid.LLE(data);

// 2. Compute the projection
const projection = lle.transform();
