The paper compares two popular data‑integration techniques—Stack‑SVD, which concatenates datasets before performing singular value decomposition, and SVD‑Stack, which first decomposes each dataset separately and then aggregates the leading singular vectors. By deriving exact asymptotic performance expressions and phase transitions in a proportional regime, the authors show that neither method uniformly dominates the other when unweighted, but optimally weighted Stack‑SVD outperforms optimally weighted SVD‑Stack when the low‑rank signal is fully shared. They also demonstrate that SVD‑Stack can excel with partially shared components and provide practical algorithms for estimating optimal weights, supported by simulations and genomic experiments.
