The Use of Robust Factor Analysis of Compositional Geochemical Data for the Recognition of the Target Area in Khusf 1:100000 Sheet, South Khorasan, Iran
The closed nature of geochemical data has been proven in many studies. Compositional data have special properties that mean that standard statistical methods cannot be used to analyse them. These data imply a particular geometry called Aitchison geometry in the simplex space. For analysis, the dataset must first be opened by the various transformations provided. One of the most popular of the a...
متن کاملDecomposing compositional data: minimum chi-squared reduced-rank approximations on the simplex
The logratio transformation (Aitchison, 1981, 1986) opened the way to statistically rigorous analysis of compositional data. Most statistical problems in compositional data analysis can be formulated in terms of logratios, and solved accordingly. However, some problems are more easily described and solved in terms of raw compositional variables. Raw compositions with k components are restricted...
متن کاملRobust factor analysis for compositional data
Factor analysis as a dimension reduction technique is widely used with compositional data. Using the method for raw data or for improperly transformed data will, however, lead to biased results and consequently to misleading interpretations. Although some procedures, suitable for factor analysis with compositional data, were already developed, they require pre-knowledge of variable groups, or a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Users’ Opinions about Reasons for Divorce
One of the most important issues related to knowledge discovery is the field of comment mining. Opinion mining is a tool through which the opinions of people who comment about a specific issue can be evaluated in order to achieve some interesting results. This is a subset of data mining. Opinion mining can be improved using the data mining algorithms. One of the important parts of opinion minin...
متن کاملComments on Nonfinite Adverbial Patterns in English Prose Fiction: A Simple Model for Analysis and Use
This study aims to present an accessible model of some frequent nonfinite adverbial types occurring in English prose fiction. As its main syntactic argument, it recognizes that these adverbials are mostly elliptical in that there are some dependent-clause markers one can assume to be implicit when supplying those elements back into the clause complex. Some comments are provided at the end on th...
