Canonical Autocorrelation Analysis

چکیده
We present an extension of sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) designed for finding multiple-tomultiple linear correlations within a single set of variables. Unlike CCA, which finds correlations between two sets of data where the rows are matched exactly but the columns represent separate sets of variables, the method proposed here, Canonical Autocorrelation Analysis (CAA), finds multivariate correlations within just one set of variables. This can be useful when we look for hidden parsimonious structures in data, each involving only a small subset of all features. In addition, the discovered correlations are highly interpretable as they are formed by pairs of sparse linear combinations of the original features. We show how CAA can be of use as a tool for anomaly detection when the expected structure of correlations is not followed by anomalous data. We illustrate the utility of CAA in two application domains where single-class and unsupervised learning of correlation structures are particularly relevant: breast cancer diagnosis and radiation threat detection. When applied to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer data, singleclass CAA is competitive with supervised methods used in literature. On the radiation threat detection task, unsupervised CAA performs significantly better than an unsupervised alternative prevalent in the domain, while providing valuable additional insights for threat analy-

A Canonical Correlation Approach to Blind Source Separation
A method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for solving the blind source (BSS) problem is presented. In contrast to independent components analysis (ICA), the proposed method utilises the autocorrelation in the source signals. This makes the BSS problem easier to solve than if only the statistical distribution of the sample values is considered. Experiments show that the method is mu...

A novel and computationally efficient method for exploratory analysis of functional MRI data is presented. The basic idea is to reveal underlying components in the fMRI data that have maximum autocorrelation. The tool for accomplishing this task is Canonical Correlation Analysis. The relation to Principal Component Analysis and Independent Component Analysis is discussed and the performance of ...

متن کاملClassification of Normal Sequences
Base sequences BS m,n are quadruples A;B;C;D of {±1}-sequences, with A and B of length m and C and D of length n, such that the sum of their nonperiodic autocorrelation functions is a δfunction. Normal sequences NS n are base sequences A;B;C;D ∈ BS n, n such that A B. We introduce a definition of equivalence for normal sequences NS n and construct a canonical form. By using this canonical form,...
