# SVD Time Trajectory Shows Different Scores Than Single-Window View
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
In the parliamentary explorer's "SVD Components" tab, party position numbers differed between the "Enkel venster" (single window) view and the "Tijdtraject" (time trajectory) view for the SAME component and SAME window. Users comparing a specific year across the two views saw inconsistent numerical scores.
|
||||
|
||||
## Symptoms
|
||||
|
||||
- Selecting component 2, window "2023-2024" in single-window shows PVV at +0.42, but the trajectory view at the same point shows PVV at -0.15
|
||||
- Signs invert for certain components when `theme["flip"]` is `True`
|
||||
- The mismatch occurs even though both views claim to show the same underlying SVD component
|
||||
|
||||
## What Didn't Work
|
||||
|
||||
Initial suspicion that the difference came from Procrustes alignment or data caching issues. Checking whether `load_party_scores_all_windows_aligned()` vs `load_party_scores_all_windows()` was the culprit. However, both views were already using the same alignment path.
|
||||
|
||||
The real cause was subtler: the trajectory view was computing PCA over a different set of windows than the single-window view, and then ignoring the flip flag entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix 1: Align trajectory PCA computation with single-window computation
|
||||
|
||||
In `analysis/explorer_data.py`, function `_get_aligned_trajectory_scores()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def _get_aligned_trajectory_scores(
|
||||
db_path: str, windows: List[str], n_components: int = 10
|
||||
) -> Dict[str, Dict[str, List[float]]]:
|
||||
from analysis.political_axis import compute_nd_axes
|
||||
|
||||
all_uniform_windows = get_uniform_dim_windows(db_path)
|
||||
scores_by_window, _ = compute_nd_axes(
|
||||
db_path, window_ids=all_uniform_windows, n_components=n_components
|
||||
)
|
||||
# ... rest filters to requested windows
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Change:** Compute PCA on **all** uniform-dim windows (matching `get_aligned_party_scores`), then filter to the requested windows. Previously, `_get_aligned_trajectory_scores()` passed only a subset of windows (excluding `_current_year`) to `compute_nd_axes()`, which produced different principal components, global mean, and flip signs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix 2: Apply theme flip in trajectory rendering
|
||||
|
||||
In `analysis/tabs/_rendering.py`, function `_render_svd_time_trajectory()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
idx = comp_sel - 1
|
||||
flip = theme.get("flip", False)
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
for window in sorted_windows:
|
||||
scores_by_party = party_scores_by_window.get(window, {})
|
||||
for party in selected_parties:
|
||||
scores = scores_by_party.get(party, [])
|
||||
if scores and len(scores) > idx:
|
||||
try:
|
||||
score = float(scores[idx])
|
||||
if flip:
|
||||
score = -score
|
||||
party_trajectories.setdefault(party, []).append((window, score))
|
||||
except (ValueError, TypeError):
|
||||
continue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Change:** Added flip application to negate scores when `theme.get("flip", False)` is `True`. `_render_party_axis_chart_1d()` already did this, but `_render_svd_time_trajectory()` completely ignored the flip flag.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Same PCA basis**: `compute_nd_axes()` computes global PCA across all provided windows. When the single-window view used all uniform-dim windows and the trajectory view used a subset, the resulting components, mean centering, and variance explained were different. Passing the same `window_ids` to `compute_nd_axes()` guarantees identical PCA bases.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Same flip handling**: The single-window view negates scores when `flip=True`. The trajectory view now does the same, ensuring both views display numerically identical values for the same (window, component, party) tuple.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prevention
|
||||
|
||||
- When multiple views display the same underlying SVD/PCA data, ensure they all call `compute_nd_axes()` with the **identical** set of window IDs
|
||||
- Never apply visual transformations (like `theme["flip"]`) in one view but omit them in another — keep rendering logic symmetric
|
||||
- Add a regression test that asserts `get_aligned_party_scores(window, comp)` equals `_get_aligned_trajectory_scores([window], comp)[window]` for sampled windows and components
|
||||
- Document that `compute_nd_axes()` is a global operation over its input windows; any subset produces a different coordinate frame
