Sign eigenanalysis and its applications to optimization problems and robust statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
Sign eigenvectors for a real square matrix, A, are defined to be sign vectors for which all of its elements either retain the same signs or become to their opposite signs after the linear transformation A, where a sign vector is a vector with the elements equal to either 1 or −1. Existence of sign eigenvectors for symmetric positive semi-definite matrices is investigated. It is shown that the sign eigenanalysis is closely related to some certain optimization problems and can be applied to develop robust statistical inference procedures in the L1 norm. A numerical example is given to illustrate the applications to robust multivariate statistical analysis. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Robust high-dimensional semiparametric regression using optimized differencing method applied to the vitamin B2 production data
Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
متن کاملAn efficient one-layer recurrent neural network for solving a class of nonsmooth optimization problems
Constrained optimization problems have a wide range of applications in science, economics, and engineering. In this paper, a neural network model is proposed to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained optimization problems with a nonsmooth convex objective function subject to nonlinear inequality and affine equality constraints. It is a one-layer non-penalty recurrent neural network based on the...
