Memory Limited, Streaming PCA

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Algorithm recovers the top principal component in the Gaussian spiked identity model using a streaming power method that never forms the p×p covariance and stores two vectors only. It breaks data into ~log p blocks, multiplicatively updates with block empirical covariances, and needs about O(p log p) samples (with extra 1/q^2 factor under coordinate erasures). Analysis gives rates after the initial phase caused by a random start; simulations show it works.
