Independent Component Analysis by Robust Distance Correlation

Sarah Leyder, Jakob Raymaekers, Peter J. Rousseeuw +2

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a powerful tool for decomposing a multivariate signal or distribution into fully independent sources, not just uncorrelated ones. Unfortunat…

A Powerful Random Forest Featuring Linear Extensions (RaFFLE)

Jakob Raymaekers, Peter J. Rousseeuw, Thomas Servotte +2

Random forests are widely used in regression. However, the decision trees used as base learners are poor approximators of linear relationships. To address this limitation we propos…

RobPy: a Python Package for Robust Statistical Methods

Sarah Leyder, Jakob Raymaekers, Peter J. Rousseeuw +2

Robust estimation provides essential tools for analyzing data that contain outliers, ensuring that statistical models remain reliable even in the presence of some anomalous data. W…

TSLiNGAM: DirectLiNGAM under heavy tails

Sarah Leyder, Jakob Raymaekers, Tim Verdonck

One of the established approaches to causal discovery consists of combining directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with structural causal models (SCMs) to describe the functional dependenc…

Generalized Spherical Principal Component Analysis

Sarah Leyder, Jakob Raymaekers, Tim Verdonck

Outliers contaminating data sets are a challenge to statistical estimators. Even a small fraction of outlying observations can heavily influence most classical statistical methods.…

Fast Linear Model Trees by PILOT

Jakob Raymaekers, Peter J. Rousseeuw, Tim Verdonck +1

Linear model trees are regression trees that incorporate linear models in the leaf nodes. This preserves the intuitive interpretation of decision trees and at the same time enables…
