Abstract: A procedure for generating a matrix that is represented by a smaller amount of memory, said matrix being a solution for fitting, into memory, a computation involving matrix data that does not fit in memory. If matrix values are required, the memory usage is reduced by recomputing the values by performing a lazy evaluation of the procedure each time. The present invention is particularly effective in terms of correspondence analysis of a sparse matrix, and enables computations to be performed with the sparse matrix in an unchanged state, without storing a dense matrix, which is generated by a process for normalizing the sparse matrix, in memory. When a randomized singular value decomposition is used as a singular value decomposition, which is computed by the correspondence analysis, a technique enabling only the product of a base matrix and an arbitrary matrix to be computed by lazy evaluation may be used alone; thus the required memory need only be the amount of memory for the base sparse matrix.
