Finding the principal points of a random variable
نویسندگان
چکیده
The p-principal points of a random variable X with finite second moment are those p points in R minimizing the expected squared distance from X to the closest point. Although the determination of principal points involves in general the resolution of a multiextremal optimization problem, existing procedures in the literature provide just a local optimum. In this paper we show that standard Global Optimization techniques can be applied.

Characterization of efficient points of the production possibility set under variable returns to scale in DEA
We suggest a method for finding the non-dominated points of the production possibility set (PPS) with variable returns to scale (VRS) technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA). We present a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem whose feasible region is the same as the PPS under variable returns to scale for generating non-dominated points. We demonstrate that Pareto solutions o...
متن کاملSimulation Generation Of Non - Uniform Random Numbers
Problem: Given a uniform random variable U, generate a random variable X having a prescribed distribution function F X) (⋅. We previously discussed the inversion method. While inversion is a very general method, it may be computationally expensive. In particular, computing 1 X F () − ⋅ may have to be implemented via a numerical root-finding method in many cases. Therefore, we will now describe ...

متن کاملOn convergence of sample and population Hilbertian functional principal components
In this article we consider the sequences of sample and population covariance operators for a sequence of arrays of Hilbertian random elements. Then under the assumptions that sequences of the covariance operators norm are uniformly bounded and the sequences of the principal component scores are uniformly sumable, we prove that the convergence of the sequences of covariance operators would impl...
متن کاملFinding Representative Points in Multivariate Data Using PCA
The idea of representation has been used in various fields of study from data analysis to political science. In this paper, we define representativeness and describe a method to isolate data points that can represent the entire data set. Also, we show how the minimum set of representative data points can be generated. We use data from GLOBE (a project to study the effects on Land Change based o...
