Title: Optimization of PRIM Under Normality
Author(s): Daniel A. Diaz*+ and J. Sunil Rao and Jean-Eudes Dazard

Keywords: PRIM ; Bump hunting ; Principal Components Analysis ; Normality ; High dimensionality
Abstract:

We modify the PRIM algorithm to obtain a converging region under normality reducing the whole complexity of the algorithm to a single step. This reduction is shown to be useful in practice via the central limit theorem. We prove several interesting results comparing forms of PRIM, including that the final box resulting from PRIM is more accurate on the rotation induced by the principal components.
