Researchers have identified a critical threshold for online Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithms, specifically Oja's algorithm. Unlike traditional PCA, which relies on the ratio of samples to dimensions ($n/d$), online PCA's phase transition is determined by a more complex ratio involving the logarithm of dimensions ($n/d imes ext{log}(d)$). This finding indicates that streaming algorithms require a higher sample-to-dimension ratio to achieve accurate results compared to their batch counterparts. AI
