Hi everybody,
I have completed my first Mahout experiment with an Hadoop local
installation (single machine) and I obtained different results from Scilab
and the Mahout Distributed Lanczos Solver. Could someone explain why this
happens? Am I doing something wrong? 

This is my matrix
2,0,8,6,0
1,6,0,1,7
5,0,7,4,0
7,0,8,5,0
0,10,0,0,7

This is my Mahout invocation
./hadoop jar
/home/hadoop-user/mahout/mahout-distribution-0.5/mahout-examples-0.5-job.jar
org.apache.mahout.math.hadoop.decomposer.DistributedLanczosSolver --input
/user/hadoop-user/mahout-input --output /user/hadoop-user/mahout-output
--numCols 5 --numRows 5 --cleansvd "true" --rank 5

These are the Mahout results
11/11/08 12:45:04 INFO lanczos.LanczosSolver: 4 passes through the corpus so
far...
11/11/08 12:45:04 INFO lanczos.LanczosSolver: Lanczos iteration complete -

And these are the results from Scilab (svd(X))
-->[U,S,V]=svd(X);
-->S
 S  =
 
    17.918371    0.           0.          0.           0.

thank you,
Alfredo
