Distance Covariance Analysis

چکیده
We propose a dimensionality reduction method to identify linear projections that capture interactions between two or more sets of variables. The method, distance covariance analysis (DCA), can detect both linear and nonlinear relationships, and can take dependent variables into account. On previous testbeds and a new testbed that systematically assesses the ability to detect both linear and nonlinear interactions, DCA performs better than or comparable to existing methods, while being one of the fastest methods. To showcase the versatility of DCA, we also applied it to three different neurophysiological datasets.

Isotropic covariance functions on spheres: Some properties and modeling considerations
Introducing flexible covariance functions is critical for interpolating spatial data since the properties of interpolated surfaces depend on the covariance function used for Kriging. An extensive literature is devoted to covariance functions on Euclidean spaces, where the Matérn covariance family is a valid and flexible parametric family capable of controlling the smoothness of corresponding st...
متن کاملCovariance functions for mean square differentiable processes on spheres
Many applications in spatial statistics involve data observed over large regions on the Earth’s surface. There is a large statistical literature devoted to covariance functions capable of modeling the degree of smoothness in data on Euclidean spaces. We adapt some of this work to covariance functions for processes on spheres, where the natural distance is great circle distance. In doing so, we ...
متن کاملTime series classification by class-specific Mahalanobis distance measures
To classify time series by nearest neighbors, we need to specify or learn one or several distance measures. We consider variations of the Mahalanobis distance measures which rely on the inverse covariance matrix of the data. Unfortunately — for time series data — the covariance matrix has often low rank. To alleviate this problem we can either use a pseudoinverse, covariance shrinking or limit ...
متن کاملDistance - Based Statistics for Covariance Operators in Functional Data Analysis
The statistical analysis of covariance operators in a functional data analysis setting is considered. Many suitable distances to compare covariance operators are presented and in particular the problem of estimating the average covariance operators among different groups is addressed. Finally, an applied problem in which this methodology has proved useful is introduced, namely, exploring phonet...
متن کاملBrownian distance covariance
Distance correlation is a new class of multivariate dependence coefficients applicable to random vectors of arbitrary and not necessarily equal dimension. Distance covariance and distance correlation are analogous to product-moment covariance and correlation, but generalize and extend these classical bivariate measures of dependence. Distance correlation characterizes independence: it is zero i...
متن کاملDistance Dependent Localization Approach in Oil Reservoir History Matching: A Comparative Study
To perform any economic management of a petroleum reservoir in real time, a predictable and/or updateable model of reservoir along with uncertainty estimation ability is required. One relatively recent method is a sequential Monte Carlo implementation of the Kalman filter: the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The EnKF not only estimate uncertain parameters but also provide a recursive estimat...
