Traditional principal components analysis (PCA) techniques for face recognition are based on batch-mode training using a pre-available image set. Real world applications require that the training set be dynamic of evolving nature where within the framework of continuous learning, new training images are continuously added to the original set; this would trigger a costly continuous re-computatio...

In this study, we compared classical principal components analysis (PCA), generalized principal components analysis (GPCA), linear principal components analysis using neural networks (PCA-NN), and non-linear principal components analysis using neural networks (NLPCA-NN). Data were extracted from the patient satisfaction query with regard to the satisfaction of patients from hospital staff, whic...

Face recognition is one of the Biometric characteristics for person identification. In this paper, Face recognition is done using two feature extraction techniques PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and MPCA (Modular Principal Component Analysis). PCA is a linear projection method in which dimensionality reduction is applied to the original image space. MPCA is an improved version of PCA in whi...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are popular for identifying genetic variants which are associated with disease risk. Many approaches have been proposed to test multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a region simultaneously which considering disadvantages of methods in single locus association analysis. Kernel machine based SNP set analysis is more powerful than single locus a...

q-mode hierarchical cluster (hca) and principal component analysis (pca) were simultaneously applied to groundwater hydrochemical data from the three times in 2004: june, september, and december, along the ain azel aquifer, algeria, to extract principal factors corresponding to the different sources of variation in the hydrochemistry, with the objective of defining the main controls on the h...

A new meta-heuristics is introduced here: the Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm (M-PCA). The M-PCA is based on the implementation of a function optimization algorithm driven for a collision process of multiple particles. A parallel version for the M-PCA is also described. The complexity for PCA, M-PCA, and a parallel implementation for the MPCA is developed. The efficiency for optimization for...

Sparse principal component analysis (PCA) addresses the problem of finding a linear combination of the variables in a given data set with a sparse coefficients vector that maximizes the variability of the data. This model enhances the ability to interpret the principal components, and is applicable in a wide variety of fields including genetics and finance, just to name a few. We suggest a nece...

The robust estimation of the low-dimensional subspace that spans the data from a set of high-dimensional, possibly corrupted by gross errors and outliers observations is fundamental in many computer vision problems. The state-of-the-art robust principal component analysis (PCA) methods adopt convex relaxations of `0 quasi-norm-regularised rank minimisation problems. That is, the nuclear norm an...

Principal component analysis (PCA) and its dual—principal coordinate analysis (PCO)—are widely applied to unsupervised dimensionality reduction. In this paper, we show that PCA and PCO can be carried out under regression frameworks. Thus, it is convenient to incorporate sparse techniques into the regression frameworks. In particular, we propose a sparse PCA model and a sparse PCO model. The for...
