Аннотация

Диссертация T. Хасти. Главные кривые и поверхности. С этой работы началось изучение главных многообразий. Главные кривые и поверхности - это самосогласованные кривые и поверхности: каждая их точка является условным математическим ожиданием точек, которые проектирыются в данную. Построена теория и предложены алгоритмы для поиска главных кривых.

Principal curves are smooth one dimensional curves that pass through the middle of a p dimensional data set. They minimise the distance from the points, and provide a non-linear summary of the Data. The curves are non-parametric and their shape is suggested by the data. Similarly, principal surfaces are two dimensional surfaces that pass through the middle of the data. The curves and surfaces are found using an iterative procedure which starts with a linear summary such as the usual principal component line or plane. Each successive iteration is a smooth or local average of the p-dimensional points, where local is based on the projections of the points onto the curve or surface of the previous iteration.


A number of linear techniques, such as factor analysis and errors in variables regression, end up using the principal components as their estimates (after a suitable scaling of the co-ordinates). Principal curves and surfaces can be viewed as the estimates of non-linear generalisations of these procedures. We present some real data examples that illustrate these applications.


Principal Curves (or surfaces) have a theoretical definition for distributions: they are the Self Consistent curves. A curve is self consistent if each point on the curve is the conditional mean of the points that project there. The main theorem proves that principal curves are critical values of the expected squared distance between the points and the curve. Linear principal components have this property as well; in fact, we prove that if a principal curve is straight, then it is a principal component. These results generalize the usual duality between conditional expectation and distance minimization. We also examine two sources of bias in the procedures, which have the satisfactory property of partially cancelling each other.


We compare the principal curve and surface procedures to other generalisations of principal components in the literature; the usual generalisations transform the space, whereas we transform the model. There are also strong ties with multidimensional scaling.
