Functional principal component analysis is essential in functional data analysis, but the inference will become unconvincing when non-Gaussian characteristics occur (e.g., heavy tail and skewness). The focus of this manuscript to develop a robust methodology deal with longitudinal data, where sparsity irregularity along non-negligible measurement errors must be considered. We introduce Kendall’...

in the present study, quantitative relationships between molecular structure and anti-tubercular activity of some 5-methyl/trifluoromethoxy-1 h -indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazone derivatives were discovered. the detailed application of an efficient linear method and principal component regression (pcr) for the evaluation of quantitative structure activity relationships of the studied compound...

The relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water quality are yet to be ascertained and quantified. In this paper, the influence of different types of land use on surface water quality is investigated. Rain events samples from different land use in the central plateau, Iran, were analyzed for major ions. Statistical analyses were employed to examine the statistical relati...

when the number of training samples is limited, feature reduction plays an important role in classification of hyperspectral images. in this paper, we propose a supervised feature extraction method based on discriminant analysis (da) which uses the first principal component (pc1) to weight the scatter matrices. the proposed method, called da-pc1, copes with the small sample size problem and has...

t is the purpose of this paper to contribute to the discussion initiated bywachter about the parallelism between principal component (pc) and atypological grade of membership (gom) analysis. the author testedempirically the close relationship between both analysis in a lowdimensional framework comprising up to nine dichotomous variables and twotypologies. our contribution to the subject is also...
