WMD-corrected PCA and Variance Mapping.

  • Initialize an m by n matrix D = [0]

  • For each particle, i
    • – Construct the rotated wedge mask:
      W=CRθi(Wvi)
    • – Apply the wedge mask to the subvolume and average, and band limit the subvolume:
      t=F1(WX)y=F1(BWXi)
    • – Form the wedge-masked difference: δ = ty
    • – Apply an ROI mask, if any: δ =
    • – Centralize or standardize as desired. In most of the work described here, we adjusted δ to be zero mean and unit variance over p, and zero elsewhere. More recently, we have stopped adjusting variance.
    • – Set column i of D to δ: [di] = δ
  • Center the columns of D: di=di1nΣi=1ndi

  • Compute the [partial] SVD of the WMDs: USVT = D

  • Cluster using first k rows of SVT as inputs to the chosen algorithm

  • If desired, form the corrected covariance: C = US2UT/(n − 1) and the variance map σ2 = diag(C)
