Nonlinear PCANonlinear PCA toolbox for MATLABby Matthias Scholz | ![]() Auto-associative neural network (Autoencoder) |
Nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA) is commonly seen as a nonlinear generalization of standard principal component analysis (PCA). It generalizes the principal components from straight lines to curves (nonlinear). Thus, the subspace in the original data space which is described by all nonlinear components is also curved.
Nonlinear PCA can be achieved by using a neural network with an autoassociative architecture also known as autoencoder, replicator network, bottleneck or sandglass type network. Such autoassociative neural network is a multi-layer perceptron that performs an identity mapping, meaning that the output of the network is required to be identical to the input. However, in the middle of the network is a layer that works as a bottleneck in which a reduction of the dimension of the data is enforced. This bottleneck-layer provides the desired component values (scores).
Here, NLPCA is applied to 19-dimensional spectral data representing equivalent widths of 19 absorption lines of 487 stars, available atwww.cida.ve. The figure in the middle shows a visualisation of the data by using the first three components of standard PCA. Data of different colors belong to different spectral groups of stars. The first three components of linear PCA and of NLPCA are represented by grids in the left and right figure, respectively. Each grid represents the two-dimensional subspace given by two components while the third one is set to zero. Thus, the grids represent the new coordinate system of the transformation. In contrast to linear PCA (left) which does not describe the nonlinear characteristics of the data, NLPCA gives a nonlinear (curved) description of the data, shown on the right.

Syntax[pc, net] = nlpca(data, k) pc = nlpca_get_components(net, data) data_reconstruction = nlpca_get_data(net, pc) DescriptionThe nonlinear PCA is based on an auto-associative neural network (autoencoder), see also: www.nlpca.org . pc = nlpca(data,k) extracts k nonlinear components from the data set. pc represents the estimated component values (scores). net is a data structure explaining the neural network parameters for the nonlinear transformation from data space to component space and reverse. ExampleIn this example nonlinear PCA (circular PCA) is applied to artificial data of a noisy circle. % generate circular data t=linspace(-pi , +pi , 100); % angular value t=-pi,...,+pi data = [sin(t);cos(t)]; % circle data = data + 0.2*randn(size(data)); % add noise % nonlinear PCA (circular PCA, inverse network architecture) [c,net]=nlpca(data, 1, 'type','inverse', 'circular','yes' ); % plot components nlpca_plot(net) See also the demos of the toolbox below.
