Aggregate eco-efficiency indices for New Zealand--a principal components analysis.
Eco-efficiency has emerged as a management response to waste issues associated with current production processes. Despite the popularity of the term in both business and government circles, limited attention has been paid to measuring and reporting eco-efficiency to government policy makers. Aggregate measures of eco-efficiency are needed, to complement existing measures and to help highlight i...
متن کاملBinary data comparison using similarity indices and principal components analysis
This work is a study of binary data, especially binary images sources of information widely used. In general, comparing two binary images that represent the same content is not always easy because an image can undergo transformations like: Translation, rotation, affinity, resolution change and scale or change in appearance. In this paper, we will try to solve the translation and rotation proble...
متن کاملPersian Handwriting Analysis Using Functional Principal Components
Principal components analysis is a well-known statistical method in dealing with large dependent data sets. It is also used in functional data for both purposes of data reduction as well as variation representation. On the other hand "handwriting" is one of the objects, studied in various statistical fields like pattern recognition and shape analysis. Considering time as the argument,...
متن کاملOnline Principal Components Analysis
We consider the online version of the well known Principal Component Analysis (PCA) problem. In standard PCA, the input to the problem is a set of ddimensional vectors X = [x1, . . . ,xn] and a target dimension k < d; the output is a set of k-dimensional vectors Y = [y1, . . . ,yn] that minimize the reconstruction error: minΦ ∑ i ‖xi − Φyi‖2. Here, Φ ∈ Rd×k is restricted to being isometric. The...
متن کاملPrincipal Components Analysis
Derivation of PCA I: For a set of d-dimensional data vectors {x}i=1, the principal axes {e}qj=1 are those orthonormal axes onto which the retained variance under projection is maximal. It can be shown that the vectors ej are given by the q dominant eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrix S, such that Sej = λjej . The q principal components of the observed vector xi are given by the vector ...
