An approach to n-mode components analysis (Q1819504)

As an extension of \textit{J. L. Lastovicka}'s four mode components analysis [The extension of component analysis to four-mode matrices. ibid. 46, 47- 57 (1981)] an n-mode components analysis is developed. Using a convenient notation, both a canonical and a least squares solution are derived. The relation between both solutions and their computational aspects are discussed.
