"""Random Projection transformers

Random Projections are a simple and computationally efficient way to
reduce the dimensionality of the data by trading a controlled amount
of accuracy (as additional variance) for faster processing times and
smaller model sizes.

The dimensions and distribution of Random Projections matrices are
controlled so as to preserve the pairwise distances between any two
samples of the dataset.

The main theoretical result behind the efficiency of random projection is the
`Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma (quoting Wikipedia)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson%E2%80%93Lindenstrauss_lemma>`_:

  In mathematics, the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma is a result
  concerning low-distortion embeddings of points from high-dimensional
  into low-dimensional Euclidean space. The lemma states that a small set
  of points in a high-dimensional space can be embedded into a space of
  much lower dimension in such a way that distances between the points are
  nearly preserved. The map used for the embedding is at least Lipschitz,
  and can even be taken to be an orthogonal projection.

def johnson_lindenstrauss_min_dim(n_samples, eps=0.1):
    """Find a 'safe' number of components to randomly project to

    The distortion introduced by a random projection `p` only changes the
    distance between two points by a factor (1 ± eps) in an euclidean space
    with good probability. The projection `p` is an eps-embedding as defined
    by:

      (1 - eps) ||u - v||^2 < ||p(u) - p(v)||^2 < (1 + eps) ||u - v||^2

    Where u and v are any rows taken from a dataset of shape [n_samples,
    n_features], eps is in ]0, 1[ and p is a projection by a random Gaussian
    N(0, 1) matrix with shape [n_components, n_features] (or a sparse
    Achlioptas matrix).

    The minimum number of components to guarantee the eps-embedding is
    given by:

      n_components >= 4 log(n_samples) / (eps^2 / 2 - eps^3 / 3)

    Note that the number of dimensions is independent of the original
    number of features but instead depends on the size of the dataset:
    the larger the dataset, the higher is the minimal dimensionality of
    an eps-embedding.

    Parameters
    ----------
    n_samples : int or numpy array of int greater than 0,
        Number of samples. If an array is given, it will compute
        a safe number of components array-wise.

    eps : float or numpy array of float in ]0,1[, optional (default=0.1)
        Maximum distortion rate as defined by the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma.
        If an array is given, it will compute a safe number of components
        array-wise.

    Returns
    -------
    n_components : int or numpy array of int,
        The minimal number of components to guarantee with good probability
        an eps-embedding with n_samples.

    Examples
    --------

    >>> johnson_lindenstrauss_min_dim(1e6, eps=0.5)
