چکیده

The most nongaussian direction to explore the clustering structure of the data is considered to be the interesting linear projection direction by applying projection pursuit. Nongaussianity is often measured by kurtosis, however, kurtosis is well known to be sensitive to influential points/outliers and the projection direction is essentially affected by unusual points. Hence in this paper we focus on developing the influence functions of projection directions to investigate the influence of abnormal observations especially on the pair-perturbation influence functions to uncover the masked unusual observations. A technique is proposed for defining and calculating influence functions for statistical functional of the multivariate distribution. A simulation study and a real data example are provided to illustrate the applications of these approaches. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Complexity Pursuit: Separating Interesting Components from Time Series

A generalization of projection pursuit for time series, that is, signals with time structure, is introduced. The goal is to find projections of time series that have interesting structure, defined using criteria related to Kolmogoroff complexity or coding length. Interesting signals are those that can be coded with a short code length. We derive a simple approximation of coding length that take...

انجام یک مرحله پیش پردازش قبل از مرحله استخراج ویژگی در طبقه بندی داده های تصاویر ابر طیفی

Hyperspectral data potentially contain more information than multispectral data because of their higher spectral resolution. However, the stochastic data analysis approaches that have been successfully applied to multispectral data are not as effective for hyperspectral data as well. Various investigations indicate that the key problem that causes poor performance in the stochastic approaches t...

Kurtosis-based Projection Pursuit for Signal Separation of Traditional Musical Instruments

Signal separation is a substantial problem in digital signal processing. The objective of signal separation from a musical composition is to decompose the composition into signals of individual musical instruments. One method that can be used is Projection Pursuit (PP) that similar with Independent Component Analysis (ICA). PP can determine source signals by projecting the data to find the most...

Some Approximation Properties of Projection Pursuit Learning Networks

This paper will address an important question in machine learning: What kind of network architectures work better on what kind of problems? A projection pursuit learning network has a very similar structure to a one hidden layer sigmoidal neural network. A general method based on a continuous version of projection pursuit regression is developed to show that projection pursuit regression works ...

Combining Exploratory Projection Pursuit and Projection Pursuit Regression with Application to Neural Networks

Parameter estimation becomes difficult in high-dimensional spaces due to the increasing sparseness of the data. Therefore, when a low-dimensional representation is embedded in the data, dimensionality reduction methods become useful. One such method-projection pursuit regression (Friedman and Stuetzle 1981 (PPR)-is capable of performing dimensionality reduction by composition, namely, it constr...
