Factorize a matrix for pseudo-inverse to solve the normal equation:

A*x = b

There are two advantages of pseudo-inverse compared to MATLAB pinv:
- PINV requires costly SVD
- PINV does not operated with sparse matrix.

The solution x minimize the 2-norm of the residual |Ax - b|.

In case of underdetermined system, i.e., rank(A) < length(x), the solution returned by pseudoinverse(A)*b is the least 2-norm among all solutions. Note that this property does *not* meet if backslash operator is used: x = A\b.

Method: Use QR factorization on both source and destination space. The factorized result is stored in object that can be used later to multiply with any target space vectors (RHS).
