What is Heteroscedastic Probabilistic PCA (HePPCAT)?
HePPCAT is a probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique for data that has samples with heterogeneous quality, i.e., noise that is heteroscedastic across samples.
Illustration: data points with a group of noisier samples (blue points) and a group of cleaner samples (green points).

Homoscedastic PPCA estimates only one noise variance for the whole data, and treats samples as though they were all equally noisy. Recovery of latent components can degrade a lot due to the noisier samples, even though the rest of the samples are relatively clean.
HePPCAT estimates latent components along with separate noise variances for each group. It accounts for heterogeneous quality among the samples and is generally more robust.
It's not just a "cool cat"!
Quick start: how to use HePPCAT
Installation:
this package is registered and can be installed
via the package manager.
pkg> add HePPCAT
Main function:
the main function is called heppcat.
Type ?heppcat for the docstring.
```
help?> heppcat
search: heppcat HePPCAT HePPCATModel
heppcat(Y,k,iters;init=homppca(Y,k),vknown=false,varfloor=zero(eltype(init.v)))
Estimate probabilistic PCA model for noise that is heteroscedastic across samples.
Required Inputs ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
• Y : list of matrices (each column is a sample)
• k : number of factors
• iters : number of iterations to run
Optional Keyword Arguments ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
• init : initial model (will be modified in-place)
• vknown : variances are known (do not update) default false
• varfloor : lower bound for variance iterates (useful if the iterates are degenerating to zero) default = 0
Output is a HePPCATModel object.
It returns a `HePPCATModel`:
help?> HePPCATModel

HePPCATModel{S<:Number,T<:Real}
Model parameters for probabilistic PCA with noise that is heteroscedastic across samples. This is the return type of heppcat(_), the corresponding estimation function.
Properties ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
• F :: Matrix factor matrix (computed via F = U*sqrt(Diagonal(λ))*Vt)
• U :: Matrix{S} eigenvectors of factor covariance F*F'
• λ :: Vector{T} eigenvalues of factor covariance F*F' (spike eigenvalues)
• Vt :: Matrix{S} (transposed) eigenvectors of F'*F (i.e., right singular vectors of F)
• v :: Vector{T} noise variances
