Nonlinear Structure Detection in High Dimensional Data Analysis



September 29, 2010

Abstract
 

High dimensional data become ubiquitous in modern science and engineering. Some data are known or considered to have nonlinear structures and linear methods usually do not work well. We developed a series of methods that can detect nonlinear structures or nonlinear dependence underlying the data. These methods involve the use of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and l1 minimization technique. The reproducing kernel Hilbert space enables nonlinear solutions to describe nonlinear structures by tuning the kernels and is computationally efficient due to the reproducing property. The l1 minimization allows sparsity to eliminate irrelevant information. The utility of our methods is validated in various simulations and applications such as gene expression data analysis, hand written digits recognition, biomedical time series, and stylometry analysis.
