Model-based sparse mixed-type PCA

Lauri Heinonen, Joni Virta

This work presents a new method for principal component analysis (PCA) of a mixed-type data consisting of continuous, binary, integer-valued and positive continuous variables. The…

Data anonymization in the presence of outliers via invariant coordinate selection

Katariina Perkonoja, Joni Virta

Protecting confidential data while preserving utility is particularly challenging when data sets contain outlying observations. Existing latent space anonymization methods, such as…

Metric Oja Depth, New Statistical Tool for Estimating the Most Central Objects

Vida Zamanifarizhandi, Joni Virta

The Oja depth (simplicial volume depth) is one of the classical statistical techniques for measuring the central tendency of data in multivariate space. Despite the widespread emer…

Asymptotic testing of covariance separability for matrix elliptical data

Joni Virta, Takeru Matsuda

We propose a new asymptotic test for the separability of a covariance matrix. The null distribution is valid in wide matrix elliptical model that includes, in particular, both matr…

A method for sparse and robust independent component analysis

Lauri Heinonen, Joni Virta

This work presents sparse invariant coordinate selection, SICS, a new method for sparse and robust independent component analysis. SICS is based on classical invariant coordinate s…
