In applications it is often natural to look at data as being of multi-way type, where each sample of measurements has values of different kinds. These types of data structures provide with a special challenge, because the linear analysis known for two-way data (matrices) does not directly extend to multi-way data. The approach chosen in the methods presented here is to develop algorithms that are based on specific indices of the data values, X=(xij). These algorithms extend naturally to data characterized by many indices, X=(xijkl). The procedures developed reduce to similar well known ones, when data has two indices. This approach provides with natural ways to define generalized inverse and other magnitudes for multi-way data, which are used for two-way data. See a short review of ideas.
