i -th data block on the local node.While the input for defaultDense , singlePassDense , or sumDense method can be an object of any class derived
from NumericTable , the input for fastCSR , singlePassCSR , or sumCSR method can only be an object of
the CSRNumericTable class. |
In this step, the correlation and variance-covariance matrices algorithm calculates the results described below.
