Title: Computational Procedure for L1-Based Principal Components
Author(s): Robert Pavur*+ and Constantine Loucopoulos and Kellie Keeling
Companies: University of North Texas and Northeastern Ilinois University and University of Denver
Keywords: Principal Components ; L1 norm ; mathematical programming
Abstract:

Mathematical programming approaches have been used in classification problems as an alternative to discriminant analysis. The approach in this presentation is to illustrate a mathematical programming approach to obtaining a principal component that may be more robust to outliers and skewed data. This approach is based on the L1 norm concept and has similarities to alternative mathematical programming approaches in discriminant analysis. This approach also allows for the successive mathematical programming principal components to be correlated. A simulation study compares results from L2 based principal components and L1 based principal components.
