On the use of Principal Component Analysis in analysing Cepheid light curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how Principal Component Analysis can be used to analyse the structure of Cepheid light curves. This method is more efficient than Fourier analysis at bringing out changes in light curve shape as a function of period. Using this technique, we study the shape of fundamental and first overtone mode Cepheid light curves in the Galaxy, LMC and SMC over a wide period range. For fundamentals, we find evidence for structural changes at logP ≈ 1.55, 2.1. It is suggested that the feature at logP ≈ 2.1 is associated with a resonance in the Cepheid normal mode spectrum. For overtones, we recover the Z shape in the R21 period plane and reproduce the metallicity dependence of this Z shape.

Outlier Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Distributed Principal Component Analysis
Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...

متن کاملPrincipal Component Analysis of RR Lyrae light curves
In this paper, we analyze the structure of RRab star light curves using Principal Component Analysis. We find this is a very efficient way to describe many aspects of RRab light curve structure: in many cases, a Principal Component fit with 9 parameters can describe a RRab light curve including bumps whereas a 17 parameter Fourier fit is needed. As a consequence we show show statistically why t...

The relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water quality are yet to be ascertained and quantified. In this paper, the influence of different types of land use on surface water quality is investigated. Rain events samples from different land use in the central plateau, Iran, were analyzed for major ions. Statistical analyses were employed to examine the statistical relati...
