Abstract:
|
Data analysis depends not only on appropriate methods, but also on interpretation of results. We present a CUR matrix decomposition algorithm which provides intuitive interpretation in terms of the original data for applications and could potentially be used as an alternative to principal component analysis. As matrix decompositions are paramount to computational statistics, our CUR algorithm also contributes to this field. Specifically, our algorithm utilizes optimization problems similar to that of lasso regression to determine the matrices C and R.
