Discrete Principal Component Analysis
This article presents a unified theory for analysis of components in discrete data, and compares the methods with techniques such as independent component analysis (ICA), non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). The main families of algorithms discussed are mean field, Gibbs sampling, and Rao-Blackwellised Gibbs sampling. Applications are presented for voti...
متن کاملUsing Principal Component Analysis to Identify Priority Neighbourhoods for Health Services Delivery by Ranking Socioeconomic Status
Objectives. Socioeconomic status (SES) is a comprehensive indicator of health status and is useful in area-level health research and informing public health resource allocation. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a useful tool for developing SES indices to identify area-level disparities in SES within communities. While SES research in Canada has relied on census data, the voluntary nature o...
متن کاملPrincipal Component Projection Without Principal Component Analysis
We show how to efficiently project a vector onto the top principal components of a matrix, without explicitly computing these components. Specifically, we introduce an iterative algorithm that provably computes the projection using few calls to any black-box routine for ridge regression. By avoiding explicit principal component analysis (PCA), our algorithm is the first with no runtime dependen...
متن کاملCompression of Breast Cancer Images By Principal Component Analysis
The principle of dimensionality reduction with PCA is the representation of the dataset ‘X’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ RN of its covariance matrix. The eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of X in RN carry the most relevant information of X. These eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. Ass...
متن کاملIs Quantitative HBsAg Measurement a Reliable Substitute for HBV DNA Quantitation?
Background: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is one of the main proteins of HBV envelop and its serum quantitative measurement is the most common quantitative test for monitoring the progress of Chronic Hepatitis B. Although measurement of serum HBV DNA copy number is a gold standard method for displaying viral load, the test is relatively expensive and it is not readily available everywhere...
