Change "Usage" example and provide some more?

[Nestak2]

Thanks for publishing this package! I installed the package and tried to reproduce the given syntax in usage:
S = irlb(A, n, [tol=0.0001 [, maxit=50]])

but it results in an error message:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Afterwards, I figured out how to make it work, but I think it would be best to change the code in the Usage section to

import irlb

S = irlb.irlb(cov, n=10, tol=0.0001, maxit=50)

so that a new user doesn't need to fix the syntax :)

Furthermore
1.) Can you provide one or two examples of decomposition in the github repo?
2.) I see that the R version of the package has also some functionalities like ssvd(), prcomp_irlba(), svdr() a.o. Are these also available for the python version?
Thanks again

Hi Nestor, Sorry I'm really behind on replying. As you can see from that repository dates, the package has not been maintained in a while. There are some significant updates that need to be applied, in addition to add the doc you request. We are workin on some changes in the R package now, and as soon as that is done I will try to update the Python package. I'll respond to this again when it's ready. Best, Bryan
