matplotlib.mlab PCA analysis

Hi,

I am struggling to do a PCA analysis on a masked array. Anybody has suggestions on how to deal with masked array when doing PCAs?

Best regards, Marjolaine.

Hi Marjolaine,

You need to remove missing values at each time step.
This means that your missing data are always at the same place.

Maybe something like this can work :

Let’s say we analyse myfullvar(nt,ny,nx)

mask = myfullvar[0]
ns = numpy.count(~mask)
myvar = numpy.zeros(nt,ns)
for it in xrange(nt):
myvar[it] = myfullvar[it].compressed()

Then you make a PCA decomposition of myvar and you get back your EOFs myeofs(neof,ns)

myfulleofs = numpy.ma.zeros(neof,ny,nx)+numpy.ma.masked
for ieof in xrange(neof):
myfulleofs[~mask.flat] = myeofs[ieof]
