A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable requirements.However, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational efficiency.Hence, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.展开更多

In this paper, we implement imaging spectroscopy (hyperspectral) reflectance data, for the reflective 330 - 2510 nm wavelength region (986 total spectral bands), to assess vineyard nutrient status;this constitutes a high dimensional dataset with a covariance matrix that is ill-conditioned. The identification of the variables (wavelength bands) that contribute useful information for nutrient assessment and prediction, plays a pivotal role in multivariate statistical modeling. In recent years, researchers have successfully developed many continuous, nearly unbiased, sparse and accurate variable selection methods to overcome this problem. This paper compares four regularized and one functional regression methods: Elastic Net, Multi-Step Adaptive Elastic Net, Minimax Concave Penalty, iterative Sure Independence Screening, and Functional Data Analysis for wavelength variable selection. Thereafter, the predictive performance of these regularized sparse models is enhanced using the stepwise regression. This comparative study of regression methods using a high-dimensional and highly correlated grapevine hyperspectral dataset revealed that the performance of Elastic Net for variable selection yields the best predictive ability.展开更多

In real applications, data are frequently influenced by high dimensions and noise. However, most relevant studies are based on complete data. This paper studies the optimal estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices based on missing and noisy sample under the norm. First, the model with sub-Gaussian additive noise is presented. The generalized sample covariance is then modified to define a hard thresholding estimator , and the minimax upper bound is derived. After that, the minimax lower bound is derived, and it is concluded that the estimator presented in this article is rate-optimal. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed. The result shows that for missing samples with sub-Gaussian noise, if the true covariance matrix is sparse, the hard thresholding estimator outperforms the traditional estimate method.展开更多

At last, the performance of the proposed algorithm on the clustering analysis of various low and high dimensional datasets is experimentally compared with that of several competitive subspace clustering algorithms. Experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can obtain better performance than most of the existing soft subspace clustering algorithms.展开更多

This study proposes a new method for data hiding in binary images using opti-mized bit position to replace a secret bit. This method manipulates blocks, which are sub-divided. The parity bit for a specified block decides whether to change or not, to embed a secret bit. By finding the best position to insert a secret bit for each divided block, the image quality of the resulting stego-image can be improved, while maintaining low computational complexity. The experimental results show that the proposed method has an improvement with respect to a previous work.展开更多

We use the profile spline modal estimator method to estimate the coefficients of the parameter part of the Varying Index Coefficient Model (VICM), while the unknown function part uses the B-spline to expand. Moreover, we combine the above two estimation methods under the assumption of high-dimensional data. The results of data simulation and empirical analysis show that for the varying index coefficient model, the re-adjusted cross-validation method is better in terms of accuracy and stability than traditional methods based on ordinary least squares.展开更多

文摘As a crucial data preprocessing method in data mining,feature selection(FS)can be regarded as a bi-objective optimization problem that aims to maximize classification accuracy and minimize the number of selected features.Evolutionary computing(EC)is promising for FS owing to its powerful search capability.However,in traditional EC-based methods,feature subsets are represented via a length-fixed individual encoding.It is ineffective for high-dimensional data,because it results in a huge search space and prohibitive training time.This work proposes a length-adaptive non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(LA-NSGA)with a length-variable individual encoding and a length-adaptive evolution mechanism for bi-objective highdimensional FS.In LA-NSGA,an initialization method based on correlation and redundancy is devised to initialize individuals of diverse lengths,and a Pareto dominance-based length change operator is introduced to guide individuals to explore in promising search space adaptively.Moreover,a dominance-based local search method is employed for further improvement.The experimental results based on 12 high-dimensional gene datasets show that the Pareto front of feature subsets produced by LA-NSGA is superior to those of existing algorithms.

文摘In this paper,an Observation Points Classifier Ensemble(OPCE)algorithm is proposed to deal with High-Dimensional Imbalanced Classification(HDIC)problems based on data processed using the Multi-Dimensional Scaling(MDS)feature extraction technique.First,dimensionality of the original imbalanced data is reduced using MDS so that distances between any two different samples are preserved as well as possible.Second,a novel OPCE algorithm is applied to classify imbalanced samples by placing optimised observation points in a low-dimensional data space.Third,optimization of the observation point mappings is carried out to obtain a reliable assessment of the unknown samples.Exhaustive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the feasibility,rationality,and effectiveness of the proposed OPCE algorithm using seven benchmark HDIC data sets.Experimental results show that(1)the OPCE algorithm can be trained faster on low-dimensional imbalanced data than on high-dimensional data;(2)the OPCE algorithm can correctly identify samples as the number of optimised observation points is increased;and(3)statistical analysis reveals that OPCE yields better HDIC performances on the selected data sets in comparison with eight other HDIC algorithms.This demonstrates that OPCE is a viable algorithm to deal with HDIC problems.
文摘Secret data hiding in binary images is more difficult than other formats since binary images require only one bit repre-sentation to indicate black and white. This study proposes a new method for data hiding in binary images using opti-mized bit position to replace a secret bit. This method manipulates blocks, which are sub-divided. The parity bit for a specified block decides whether to change or not, to embed a secret bit. By finding the best position to insert a secret bit for each divided block, the image quality of the resulting stego-image can be improved, while maintaining low computational complexity. The experimental results show that the proposed method has an improvement with respect to a previous work.
文摘Objective: To analyze longitudinal binary data by using generalized linear models. The correlation between repeated measures were considered. The general method for analyzing longitudinal binary data was given. Methods: Generalized estimating equations (GEE) proposed by Zeger and Liang was used. For sevens covariance structures, one method was given for estimating regression and correlation parameters. Results: Regression and coerelation parameters were estimated simultaneously. A Set of program was finished and an example was illustrated. Conclusion: Longitudinal dsta often occur in medical researches and clinical trials. For solving the problem of correlation between repeated measures, it is necessary to use some special methods to cope with this Kind of data.
文摘This paper studies the re-adjusted cross-validation method and a semiparametric regression model called the varying index coefficient model. We use the profile spline modal estimator method to estimate the coefficients of the parameter part of the Varying Index Coefficient Model (VICM), while the unknown function part uses the B-spline to expand. Moreover, we combine the above two estimation methods under the assumption of high-dimensional data. The results of data simulation and empirical analysis show that for the varying index coefficient model, the re-adjusted cross-validation method is better in terms of accuracy and stability than traditional methods based on ordinary least squares.
