Summary
Positive Matrix Factorization
(PMF) is a
Statistical technique
used to
Decompose a matrix
into the
Product of two matrices
with
Non-negative elements
, often used in
Environmental Data Analysis
for
Source Apportionment
. It is particularly useful for
Identifying patterns in data
where components have a
Natural non-negative constraint
, such as
Chemical concentrations
or
Financial Data
, and provides a more
Interpretable solution
compared to other
Factorization methods
like PCA and NMF due to its
Constraints and flexibility in application
.
