The performance results of the athletes competed in the 1988-2008 Olympic Games were analyzed (n = 166). The data were obtained from the IAAF official protocols. In the principal component analysis, the first three principal components explained 70% of the total variance. In the 1st principal component (with 43.1% of total variance explained) the largest factor loadings were for 100m (0.89), 40...

We consider the problem of outlier rejection in single subspace learning. Classical approaches work with a direct representation of the subspace, and are thus efficient when the subspace dimension is small. Our approach works with a dual representation of the subspace and hence aims to find its orthogonal complement; as such it is particularly suitable for high-dimensional subspaces. We pose th...

We demonstrate polarization-sensitive measurement of the modal content of waveguides by generalizing the classic rotating wave-plate-based polarimeter to wide-field optical low-coherence interferometry. The spatial phases of the modes are retrieved with principal component analysis. By applying this polarization-sensitive cross-correlation (C2) imaging technique to the characterization of a few...
