Robust Principal Component Analysis Using Statistical Estimators
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) finds a linear mapping and maximizes the variance of the data which makes PCA sensitive to outliers and may cause wrong eigendirection. In this paper, we propose techniques to solve this problem; we use the data-centering method and reestimate the covariance matrix using robust statistic techniques such as median, robust scaling which is a booster to datacente...
متن کاملStatistical Detection of Abnormal Ozone Levels Using Principal Component Analysis
Ozone is one of the most severe air pollution problems in the world. The concentration of ozone in the troposphere is of great interest because of its negative influence on the human health, vegetation and materials. The complexity of ozone (O3) formation mechanisms in the troposphere, the complexity of meteorological conditions in urban areas and the uncertainty in the measurements of all the ...
متن کاملAcquiring English dative verbs: proficiency effects in German L2 learners
This paper investigates the influence of probabilistic information in the second language on the processing of English dative alternation constructions in German learners of English. We present two eye-tracking studies (visual world and reading) with evidence that the probabilistic patterns of the target language influence L2 processing when the initial preference is violated, and indications t...
متن کاملA Corpus-based Analysis of Shadowing Speech: Case of L2 English by Japanese Learners
In this study we intend to investigate the typical phenomena in shadowing speech and work out a tentative scheme for shadowing speech labeling. Our aim is two-fold: a) to give useful feedback to students and teachers who are using shadowing as a way of language learning; b) to explore the possibility of automatic assessment and error detection of shadowing speech. We firstly labeled a shadowing...
متن کاملL2 Learners’ English Prepositional-Phrase Processing with Consideration of L2 Proficiency and Word Familiarity: A mixed-effect Analysis
A considerable number of studies have hitherto examined how native speakers and second language (hereafter L1 and L2, respectively) learners of English process English prepositional phrases. It is usually thought that both L1 and L2 speakers have a preference for verb phrase modification (e.g., The boy broke the old window with a ball of snow.) over noun phrase modification (e.g., The boy broke...
