Abstract

In statistical data analysis, a tensor is a multi-array datum. Just as the complexity of a matrix datum is described by its matrix rank, the complexity of a tensor datum is described by its tensor rank. In this chapter, we review several concepts of tensor rank such as rank-1 tensors and tensor flattening.
