PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS ANALYSIS OF SEVERAL PHYSIOLOGICAL CANGES INDUCED BY HEAT EXPOSURE

Functional Analysis of Iranian Temperature and Precipitation by Using Functional Principal Components Analysis

Extended Abstract. When data are in the form of continuous functions, they may challenge classical methods of data analysis based on arguments in finite dimensional spaces, and therefore need theoretical justification. Infinite dimensionality of spaces that data belong to, leads to major statistical methodologies and new insights for analyzing them, which is called functional data analysis (FDA...

Persian Handwriting Analysis Using Functional Principal Components

Principal components analysis is a well-known statistical method in dealing with large dependent data sets. It is also used in functional data for both purposes of data reduction as well as variation representation. On the other hand "handwriting" is one of the objects, studied in various statistical fields like pattern recognition and shape analysis. Considering time as the argument,...

Online Principal Components Analysis

We consider the online version of the well known Principal Component Analysis (PCA) problem. In standard PCA, the input to the problem is a set of ddimensional vectors X = [x1, . . . ,xn] and a target dimension k < d; the output is a set of k-dimensional vectors Y = [y1, . . . ,yn] that minimize the reconstruction error: minΦ ∑ i ‖xi − Φyi‖2. Here, Φ ∈ Rd×k is restricted to being isometric. The...

Principal Components Analysis

Derivation of PCA I: For a set of d-dimensional data vectors {x}i=1, the principal axes {e}qj=1 are those orthonormal axes onto which the retained variance under projection is maximal. It can be shown that the vectors ej are given by the q dominant eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrix S, such that Sej = λjej . The q principal components of the observed vector xi are given by the vector ...
