LMS and LTS-type Alternatives to Classical Principal Component Analysis

LMS and LTS-type Alternatives to Classical Principal Component Analysis

초록/요약

Classical principal component analysis (PCA) can be formulated as finding the linear subspace that best accommodates multidimensional data points in the sense that the sum of squared residual distances is minimized. As alternatives to such LS (least squares) fitting approach, we produce LMS median of squares) and LTS (least trimmed squares)-type PCA by minimizing the median of squared residual distances and the trimed sum of squares, in a similar fashion to Rousseeuw (1984)'s alternative approaches to LS linear regression. Proposed methods adopt the data-driven algorithm of Croux and Ruiz-Gazen (1996, 2005) that is conceptually simple and computationally practical. Numerical examples are given.
