Pull request overview

This PR adds two new multiblock feature transformers—CIFE and AJIVE—to the kalelinear.transformer API, along with tests and documentation updates so they can be used via both kalelinear.transformer and the PyKale-style kalelinear.embed module.

Changes:

• Implement CIFE and AJIVE, plus a shared multiblock base/validation layer.
• Add unit tests and shared synthetic multiblock dataset generator for validating common/individual subspace recovery.
• Update README, tutorials, and Sphinx API docs to surface the new transformers.

kalelinear/transformer/_multiblock.py:167

• transform() uses _check_multiblock_input(X) for list/tuple inputs, which enforces a minimum of two blocks. This prevents projecting a single new block at transform-time even though the common projection does not require multiple blocks (and the docstring suggests any “list of blocks” is acceptable). Consider validating list inputs here without the “>= 2 blocks” constraint, and just stack the blocks for projection.

 if isinstance(X, (list, tuple)):
blocks, _ = _check_multiblock_input(X)
X_stacked = np.vstack(blocks)

kalelinear/transformer/_ajive.py:208

• percentile is a configurable parameter, but the branch choosing between random_ssv_bound and the Wedin-based bound compares against a hard-coded 5th percentile (np.percentile(wedin_ssv_bounds, 5)). This makes behavior inconsistent when percentile is not 5 and likely ignores the user-configured setting.

 wedin_ssv_bound = np.percentile(wedin_ssv_bounds, self.percentile)
random_ssvs = _random_direction_ssv(D, ranks, 100, self.random_state_)
random_ssv_bound = np.percentile(random_ssvs, 95)
if random_ssv_bound > np.percentile(wedin_ssv_bounds, 5):
joint_rank = int(np.sum(s_stacked**2 + _FERROR > random_ssv_bound))

tests/utils/test_utils.py:133

• make_common_individual_dataset is parameterized by n_blocks, but it indexes individual_ranks[k] / n_samples[k] without validating their lengths. Calling it with a different n_blocks than the default will raise an IndexError instead of a clear error message.

 for k in range(n_blocks):
individual_basis, _ = np.linalg.qr(random_state.randn(n_features, individual_ranks[k]))
individual_basis -= common_basis @ (common_basis.T @ individual_basis)
individual_basis, _ = np.linalg.qr(individual_basis)
block = random_state.randn(n_samples[k], n_common) @ common_basis.T
