Metrics are functions that tell how much information would be lost for a given reduction in the data. reduce. as_measure() is a helper function to create new metrics to be used in partitioners. partitioners can be created with as_partitioner().

measure_variance_explained() assesses information loss by calculating the variance explained by the first component of a principal components analysis. Because the PCA calculates the components and the variance explained at the same time, if the reducer is reduce_first_component(), then measure_variance_explained() will store the first component for later use to avoid recalculation.
