contents Principal component analysis (PCA) is a widely used technique for dimension reduction. As datasets continue to grow in size, distributed-PCA (DPCA) has become an active research area. A key challenge in DPCA lies in efficiently aggregating results across multiple machines or computing nodes due to computational overhead. Fan et al. (2019) introduced a pioneering DPCA method to estimate the leading rank-$r$ eigenspace, aggregating local rank-$r$ projection matrices by averaging. However, their method does not utilize eigenvalue information. In this article, we propose a novel DPCA method that incorporates eigenvalue information to aggregate local results via the matrix $β$-mean, which we call $β$-DPCA. The matrix $β$-mean offers a flexible and robust aggregation method through the adjustable choice of $β$ values. Notably, for $β=1$, it corresponds to the arithmetic mean; for $β=-1$, the harmonic mean; and as $β\to 0$, the geometric mean. Moreover, the matrix $β$-mean is shown to associate with the matrix $β$-divergence, a subclass of the Bregman matrix divergence, to support the robustness of $β$-DPCA. We also study the stability of eigenvector ordering under eigenvalue perturbation for $β$-DPCA. The performance of our proposal is evaluated through numerical studies.
