Detailed Description

Principal Component Analysis on a Kernel Matrix.

This class performs PCA on a kernel matrix. Note that this class does not diagonalize the kernel matrix to find eigen-samples that maximizes the variance (use class SVD). Instead, this class finds eigen-features that maximizes the variance in feature space and projects the data onto these eigen-features.

As the covariance of features is not available nor is the data, we create a data matrix Z that fulfills Kernel = Z' * Z. As this data matrix Z has the same kernel matrix as the original data and thus also same distances between each pair of sample, the difference between Z and original data matrix is at most a rotation and translation. Hence, the projection of Z onto the first principial components will be equivalent to the projection of original data onto its principal components.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

theplu::yat::utility::KernelPCA::KernelPCA ( const Matrix kernel)
explicit

Constructor taking the kernel matrix as input. kernel is expected to be symmetric and positive semi-definite.

The kernel matrix contains the scalar product between all samples, i.e., element kernel(i,j) is the scalar product between sample i and sample j.

Member Function Documentation

const Vector& theplu::yat::utility::KernelPCA::eigenvalues ( void  ) const

sorted eigenvalues.

Returns
eigenvalues sorted such eignenvalues(0) is the largest value
const Matrix& theplu::yat::utility::KernelPCA::projection ( void  ) const

This function will project data onto the new coordinate-system.

Each column corresponds to a sample.
