基于距离协方差的独立成分分析

Independent Component Analysis via Distance Covariance

David S. Matteson, Ruey S. Tsay

摘要:

本文介绍了一种新的多元数据独立成分分析(ICA)的统计框架。我们提出了一种方法来估计和测试存在的相互独立的组件为一个给定的数据集,和一个通用的基于重采样的推理过程。独立成分估计相结合的非参数概率积分变换与广义非参数白化方法,同时最大限度地减少所有形式的组件之间的依赖。将样本元素之间的某些欧氏距离的U-统计量连续组合,构造用于检验相互独立分量存在性的统计量。建议的措施和测试的基础上相互独立的必要条件和充分条件。当存在独立成分时,可以应用单变量分析来分别研究或建模每个成分。然后可以组合单变量模型以获得原始观测的多变量模型。在最小正则条件下证明了估计量的相合性,而不需要假设先验独立分量的存在,并且所有的假设都直接基于观测值,而不是潜在分量.在仿真研究中,我们证明了所提出的方法比竞争方法的改进。我们提出的ICA方法应用到两个真实的例子,并将其与主成分分析。

英文摘要:

This paper introduces a novel statistical framework for independent component analysis (ICA) of multivariate data. We propose methodology for estimating and testing the existence of mutually independent components for a given dataset, and a versatile resampling-based procedure for inference. Independent components are estimated by combining a nonparametric probability integral transformation with a generalized nonparametric whitening method that simultaneously minimizes all forms of dependence among the components. U-statistics of certain Euclidean distances between sample elements are combined in succession to construct a statistic for testing the existence of mutually independent components. The proposed measures and tests are based on both necessary and sufficient conditions for mutual independence. When independent components exist, one may apply univariate analysis to study or model each component separately. Univariate models may then be combined to obtain a multivariate model for the original observations. We prove the consistency of our estimator under minimal regularity conditions without assuming the existence of independent components a priori, and all assumptions are placed on the observations directly, not on the latent components. We demonstrate the improvements of the proposed method over competing methods in simulation studies. We apply the proposed ICA approach to two real examples and contrast it with principal component analysis.
