Log-concave Ridge Estimation
arXiv:2008.05191
Abstract
We develop a density ridge search algorithm based on a novel density ridge definition. This definition is based on a conditional variance matrix and the mode in the lower dimensional subspace. It is compared to the subspace constraint mean shift algorithm, based on the gradient and Hessian of the underlying probability density function. We show the advantages of the new algorithm in a simulation study and estimate galaxy filaments from a data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey.
