Purpose

The theory indicates that actually one should be truncating likelihood information based on the retained spectral mass, This tends to give better cut-offs that the current approach.

To-do

  • The output-space threshold should be updated to something amenable to greedy algorithms

Content

  • We also rename the kwarg to retain_spectral_mass from retain_info
  • Improve the diagnostics upon truncation
  • Modify the cut-off to produce the smallest k such that
    $$\frac{\sum _{i\leq k} \log(1+\lambda_i) }{\sum _{i} \log(1+\lambda_i) } \geq T $$
    This basically removes the square on the summand of what is currently done
