Multilinear Tensor Regression for Longitudinal Relational Data.

نویسنده

چکیده

A fundamental aspect of relational data, such as from a social network, is the possibility of dependence among the relations. In particular, the relations between members of one pair of nodes may have an effect on the relations between members of another pair. This article develops a type of regression model to estimate such effects in the context of longitudinal and multivariate relational data, or other data that can be represented in the form of a tensor. The model is based on a general multilinear tensor regression model, a special case of which is a tensor autoregression model in which the tensor of relations at one time point are parsimoniously regressed on relations from previous time points. This is done via a separable, or Kronecker-structured, regression parameter along with a separable covariance model. In the context of an analysis of longitudinal multivariate relational data, it is shown how the multilinear tensor regression model can represent patterns that often appear in relational and network data, such as reciprocity and transitivity.

Multilinear Subspace Regression: An Orthogonal Tensor Decomposition Approach

A multilinear subspace regression model based on so called latent variable decomposition is introduced. Unlike standard regression methods which typically employ matrix (2D) data representations followed by vector subspace transformations, the proposed approach uses tensor subspace transformations to model common latent variables across both the independent and dependent data. The proposed appr...

Higher-Order Low-Rank Regression

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm (HOLRR) to handle regression tasks where the outputs have a tensor structure. We formulate the regression problem as the minimization of a least square criterion under a multilinear rank constraint, a difficult non convex problem. HOLRR computes efficiently an approximate solution of this problem, with solid theoretical guarantees. A kernel extension i...

Adaptive Higher-order Spectral Estimators

Many applications involve estimation of a signal matrix from a noisy data matrix. In such cases, it has been observed that estimators that shrink or truncate the singular values of the data matrix perform well when the signal matrix has approximately low rank. In this article, we generalize this approach to the estimation of a tensor of parameters from noisy tensor data. We develop new classes ...

Tensor Decompositions: A New Concept in Brain Data Analysis?

Matrix factorizations and their extensions to tensor factorizations and decompositions have become prominent techniques for linear and multilinear blind source separation (BSS), especially multiway Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorization (NMF/NTF), Smooth Component Analysis (SmoCA) and Sparse Component Analysis (SCA). Moreover, tensor decompositions hav...

Multilinear and nonlinear generalizations of partial least squares: an overview of recent advances

Partial Least Squares (PLS) is an efficient multivariate statistical regression technique that has proven to be particularly useful for analysis of highly collinear data. To predict response variables Y from independent variables X, PLS attempts to find a set of common orthogonal latent variables by projecting both X and Y onto a new subspace respectively. As an increasing interest in multiway ...
