Robust Approaches to Factor Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Factor analysis (FA) is a standard technique in multivariate analysis which is routinely used in social and behavioral sciences. The aim of factor analysis is to summarize the correlation structure of observed variables X1; X2; : : : ; Xp: For this purpose one constructs k < p unobservable or latent variables f1; : : : ; fk, which are called the factors, and which are linked with the original variables through the equation

A Robust Scenario Based Approach in an Uncertain Condition Applied to Location-Allocation Distribution Centers Problem
The paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. In real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. This may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. Scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...
متن کاملA Robust Desirability-based Approach to Optimizing Multiple Correlated Responses
There are many real problems in which multiple responses should be optimized simultaneously by setting of process variables. One of the common approaches for optimization of multi-response problems is desirability function. In most real cases, there is a correlation structure between responses so ignoring the correlation may lead to mistake results. Hence, in this paper a robust approach based ...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Problem Using Various Visions
In this paper an applied problem, where the response of interest is the number of success in a specific experiment, is considered and by various visions is studied. The effects of outlier values of response on results of a regression analysis are so important to be studied. For this reason, using diagnostic methods, outlier response values are recognized. It is shown that use of arc-sine ...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملProposing a Robust Model of Interval Data Envelopment Analysis to Performance Measurement under Double Uncertainty Situations
It is very necessary to consider the uncertainty in the data and how to deal with it when performance measurement using data envelopment analysis. Because a little deviation in the data can lead to a significant change in the performance results. However, in the real world and in many cases, the data is uncertain. Interval data envelopment analysis is one of the most widely used approaches to d...
متن کاملThe Use of Robust Factor Analysis of Compositional Geochemical Data for the Recognition of the Target Area in Khusf 1:100000 Sheet, South Khorasan, Iran
The closed nature of geochemical data has been proven in many studies. Compositional data have special properties that mean that standard statistical methods cannot be used to analyse them. These data imply a particular geometry called Aitchison geometry in the simplex space. For analysis, the dataset must first be opened by the various transformations provided. One of the most popular of the a...
