Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests?
  • Documentation change?

Checklist:

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized.
  • I know that pull requests will not be merged if they fail the automated tests.
  • This PR only changes one algorithm file. To ease review, please open separate PRs for separate algorithms.
  • All new Python files are placed inside an existing directory.
  • All filenames are in all lowercase characters with no spaces or dashes.
  • All functions and variable names follow Python naming conventions.
  • All function parameters and return values are annotated with Python type hints.
  • All functions have doctests that pass the automated testing.
  • All new algorithms include at least one URL that points to Wikipedia or another similar explanation.
  • If this pull request resolves one or more open issues then the description above includes the issue number(s) with a closing keyword: "Fixes #ISSUE-NUMBER".

Description

This PR adds implementations of four fundamental dimensionality reduction algorithms:

Algorithms Implemented:

  • Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) - Nonlinear manifold learning technique
  • Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) - Distance-preserving embedding

Features:

  • Complete mathematical implementations with proper documentation
  • Comprehensive docstrings with examples for each function
  • Type hints and error handling
  • Unit tests and doctests for verification
  • Helper functions for covariance calculations

Note about multiple algorithms:

This PR contains four related dimensionality reduction algorithms in one file because they share common helper functions and represent a comprehensive dimensionality reduction module. They are closely related and benefit from being implemented together.

This contribution is for Hacktoberfest 2024.
