These notes are an overview of some classical linear methods in Multivariate Data Analysis. This is a good old domain, well established since the 60's, and refreshed timely as a key step in statistical learning. It can be presented as part…
Many machine learning systems are vulnerable to small perturbations made to inputs either at test time or at training time. This has received much recent interest on the empirical front due to applications where reliability and security are…
Principal component analysis (PCA) is perhaps the most widely used method for data dimensionality reduction. A key question in PCA is deciding how many factors to retain. This manuscript describes a new approach to automatically selecting…
When modeling multivariate data, one might have an extra parameter of contextual information that could be used to treat some observations as more similar to others. For example, images of faces can vary by age, and one would expect the…
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely utilized technique for dimensionality reduction; however, its inherent lack of interpretability-stemming from dense linear combinations of all feature-limits its applicability in many domains.…
Sparse Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a dimensionality reduction technique wherein one seeks a low-rank representation of a data matrix with additional sparsity constraints on the obtained representation. We consider two…
