--output_file (-o) [string]

File to save modified dataset to.

Options

--help (-h)

Default help info.

--info [string]

Get help on a specific module or option. Default value ''.

--new_dimensionality (-d) [int]

Desired dimensionality of output dataset. If 0, no dimensionality reduction is performed. Default value 0.

--scale (-s)

If set, the data will be scaled before running PCA, such that the variance of each feature is 1.

--verbose (-v)

Display informational messages and the full list of parameters and timers at the end of execution.
