Feature Extraction Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Principle Component Analysis It is a linear procedure to find the direction in input space where most of the energy of the input lies. – Feature Extraction – Dimension Reduction It is also called the (discrete) Karhunen- Loève transform, or the Hotelling transform.
The Basis Concept Assume data x (random vector) has zero mean. PCA finds a unit vector w to reflect the largest amount of variance of the data. That is, w x wTxwTx Demo
The Method Covariance Matrix Remark: C is symmetric and semipositive definite.
The Method maximize subject to The method of Lagrange multiplier: Define The extreme point, say, w* satisfies
The Method maximize subject to Setting
Discussion At extreme points w is a eigenvector of C, and is its corresponding eigenvalue. Let w 1, w 2, …, w d be the eigenvectors of C whose corresponding eigenvalues are 1 ≧ 2 ≧ … ≧ d. They are called the principal components of C. Their significance can be ordered according to their eigenvalues. Let w 1, w 2, …, w d be the eigenvectors of C whose corresponding eigenvalues are 1 ≧ 2 ≧ … ≧ d. They are called the principal components of C. Their significance can be ordered according to their eigenvalues.

They, hence, form a basis of the feature space. For dimensionality reduction, only choose few of them. If C is symmetric and semipositive definite, all their eigenvectors are orthogonal.

Applications Image Processing Signal Processing Compression Feature Extraction Pattern Recognition
Example Projecting the data onto the most significant axis will facilitate classification. This also achieves dimensionality reduction.
Issues PCA is effective for identifying the multivariate signal distribution. Hence, it is good for signal reconstruction. But, it may be inappropriate for pattern classification. The most significant component obtained using PCA. The most significant component for classification
Whitening Whitening is a process that transforms the random vector, say, x = (x 1, x 2, …, x n ) T (assumed it is zero mean) to, say, z = (z 1, z 2, …, z n ) T with zero mean and unit variance. z is said to be white or sphered. This implies that all of its elements are uncorrelated. However, this doesn’t implies its elements are independent.
Whitening Transform Let V be a whitening transform, then Decompose C x as Set Clearly, D is a diagonal matrix and E is an orthonormal matrix.
Whitening Transform If V is a whitening transform, and U is any orthonormal matrix, show that UV, i.e., rotation, is also a whitening transform. Proof)
Why Whitening? With PCA, we usually choose several major eigenvectors as the basis for representation. This basis is efficient for reconstruction, but may be inappropriate for other applications, e.g., classification. By whitening, we can rotate the basis to get more interesting features.

Feature Extraction Factor Analysis
What is a Factor? If several variables correlate highly, they might measure aspects of a common underlying dimension. – These dimensions are called factors. Factors are classification axis along which the measures can be plotted. – The greater the loading of variables on a factor, the more that factor can explain intercorrelations between those variables.

What is Factor Analysis? A method for investigating whether a number of variables of interest Y 1, Y 2, …, Y n, are linearly related to a smaller number of unobservable factors F 1, F 2, …, F m.
