PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS



Principal component analysis (PCA) is a statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables (entities each of which takes on various numerical values) into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components.

Reliability is the probability that a piece of equipment (component, subsystem or system) successfully performs its intended function for a given period of time under specified (design) conditions (Martz and Waller). Failure means that an item does not perform its

Asymptotic theory for principal component analysis
free download

The asymptotic distribution of the characteristic roots and (normalized) vectors of a sample covariance matrix is given when the observations are from a multivariate normal distribution Whose covariance matrix has characteristic roots of arbitrary multiplicity. The elements of

Singular value decomposition and principal component analysis
free download

One of the challenges of bioinformatics is to develop effective ways to analyze global gene expression data. A rigorous approach to gene expression analysis must involve an up-front characterization of the structure of the data. Singular value decomposition (SVD) and

Principal component analysis for alteration mapping
free download

Reducing the number of image bands input for principal component analysis (PCA) ensures that certain materials will not be mapped and increases the likelihood that others will be unequivocally mapped into only one of the principal component images. In arid terrain, PCA

Size and shape variation in the painted turtle. A principal component analysis
free download

The concepts of size and shape are fundamental to the analysis of variation in living organisms. Ahd yet, as noted by Simpson, Roe and Lewontin (1960), there is at present no general agreement on practical definitions of size and shape. The adoption of a generally

Structured sparse principal component analysis
free download

We present an extension of sparse PCA, or sparse dictionary learning, where the sparsity patterns of all dictionary elements are structured and constrained to belong to a prespecified set of shapes. This structured sparse PCA is based on a structured regularization recently

Principal component analysis for hyperspectral image classification
free download

The availability of hyperspectral images expands the capability of using image classification to study detailed characteristics of objects, but at a cost of having to deal with huge data sets. This work studies the use of the principal component analysis as a preprocessing technique

Sparse kernel principal component analysis

AbstractKernel principal component analysis (PCA) is an elegant nonlinear generalisation of the popular linear data analysis method, where a kernel function implicitly defines a nonlinear transformation into a feature space wherein standard PCA is performed

Applications of principal component analysis to horticultural research
