Robust Regularized Cluster Analysis for High-Dimensional Data
Kalina, Jan; Vlčková, Katarína
2014 - English
This paper presents new approaches to the hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis for high-dimensional data. First, we propose a regularized version of the hierarchical cluster analysis for categorical data with a large number of categories. It exploits a regularized version of various test statistics of homogeneity in contingency tables as the measure of distance between two clusters. Further, our aim is cluster analysis of continuous data with a large number of variables. Various regularization techniques tailor-made for high-dimensional data have been proposed, which have however turned out to suffer from a high sensitivity to the presence of outlying measurements in the data. As a robust solution, we recommend to combine two newly proposed methods, namely a regularized version of robust principal component analysis and a regularized Mahalanobis distance, which is based on an asymptotically optimal regularization of the covariance matrix. We bring arguments in favor of the newly proposed methods.

On the Consistency of an Estimator for Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas
Górecki, J.; Hofert, M.; Holeňa, Martin
2014 - English
The paper addresses an estimation procedure for hierarchical Archimedean copulas, which has been proposed in the literature. It is shown here that this estimation is not consistent in general. Furthermore, a correction is proposed, which leads to a consistent estimator.

Robustness Aspects of Knowledge Discovery
Kalina, Jan
2013 - English
The sensitivity of common knowledge discovery methods to the presence of outlying measurements in the observed data is discussed as their major drawback. Our work is devoted to robust methods for information extraction from data. First, we discuss neural networks for function approximation and their sensitivity to the presence of noise and outlying measurements in the data. We propose to fit neural networks in a robust way by means of a robust nonlinear regression. Secondly, we consider information extraction from categorical data, which commonly suffers from measurement errors. To improve its robustness properties, we propose a regularized version of the common test statistics, which may find applications e.g. in pattern discovery from categorical data.
