Sparse principal component analysis (PCA) is an important technique for dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data. However, most existing sparse PCA algorithms are based on non-convex optimization, which provide little guarantee on the global convergence. Sparse PCA algorithms based on a convex formulation, for example the Fantope projection and selection (FPS), overcome this difficulty, but are computationally expensive. In this work we study sparse PCA based on the convex FPS formulation, and propose a new algorithm that is computationally efficient and applicable to large and high-dimensional data sets. Nonasymptotic and explicit bounds are derived for both the optimization error and the statistical accuracy, which can be used for testing and inference problems. We also extend our algorithm to online learning problems, where data are obtained in a streaming fashion. The proposed algorithm is applied to high-dimensional gene expression data for the detection of functional gene groups.

Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) is widely used in data processing and dimension reduction; it uses the lasso to produce modified principal components with sparse loadings for better interpretability. However, sparse PCA never considers an additional grouping structure where the loadings share similar coefficients (i.e., feature grouping), besides a special group with all coefficients being zero (i.e., feature selection). In this paper, we propose a novel method called Feature Grouping and Sparse Principal Component Analysis (FGSPCA) which allows the loadings to belong to disjoint homogeneous groups, with sparsity as a special case. The proposed FGSPCA is a subspace learning method designed to simultaneously perform grouping pursuit and feature selection, by imposing a non-convex regularization with naturally adjustable sparsity and grouping effect. To solve the resulting non-convex optimization problem, we propose an alternating algorithm that incorporates the difference-of-convex programming, augmented Lagrange and coordinate descent methods. Additionally, the experimental results on real data sets show that the proposed FGSPCA benefits from the grouping effect compared with methods without grouping effect.

A principal component analysis based on the generalized Gini correlation index is proposed (Gini PCA). The Gini PCA generalizes the standard PCA based on the variance. It is shown, in the Gaussian case, that the standard PCA is equivalent to the Gini PCA. It is also proven that the dimensionality reduction based on the generalized Gini correlation matrix, that relies on city-block distances, is robust to outliers. Monte Carlo simulations and an application on cars data (with outliers) show the robustness of the Gini PCA and provide different interpretations of the results compared with the variance PCA.

We present a novel technique for sparse principal component analysis. This method, named Eigenvectors from Eigenvalues Sparse Principal Component Analysis (EESPCA), is based on the recently detailed formula for computing normed, squared eigenvector l oadings of a Hermitian matrix from the eigenvalues of the full matrix and associated sub-matrices. Relative to the state-of-the-art LASSO-based sparse PCA method of Witten, Tibshirani and Hastie, the EESPCA technique offers a two-orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational speed, does not require estimation of tuning parameters, and can more accurately identify true zero principal component loadings across a range of data matrix sizes and covariance structures. Importantly, EESPCA achieves these performance benefits while maintaining a reconstruction error close to that generated by the Witten et al. approach. EESPCA is a practical and effective technique for sparse PCA with particular relevance to computationally demanding problems such as the analysis of large data matrices or statistical techniques like resampling that involve the repeated application of sparse PCA.

Sparse principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular tool for dimensional reduction of high-dimensional data. Despite its massive popularity, there is still a lack of theoretically justifiable Bayesian sparse PCA that is computationally scalable. A major challenge is choosing a suitable prior for the loadings matrix, as principal components are mutually orthogonal. We propose a spike and slab prior that meets this orthogonality constraint and show that the posterior enjoys both theoretical and computational advantages. Two computational algorithms, the PX-CAVI and the PX-EM algorithms, are developed. Both algorithms use parameter expansion to deal with the orthogonality constraint and to accelerate their convergence speeds. We found that the PX-CAVI algorithm has superior empirical performance than the PX-EM algorithm and two other penalty methods for sparse PCA. The PX-CAVI algorithm is then applied to study a lung cancer gene expression dataset. $mathsf{R}$ package $mathsf{VBsparsePCA}$ with an implementation of the algorithm is available on The Comprehensive R Archive Network.
Functional binary datasets occur frequently in real practice, whereas discrete characteristics of the data can bring challenges to model estimation. In this paper, we propose a sparse logistic functional principal component analysis (SLFPCA) method t o handle the functional binary data. The SLFPCA looks for local sparsity of the eigenfunctions to obtain convenience in interpretation. We formulate the problem through a penalized Bernoulli likelihood with both roughness penalty and sparseness penalty terms. An efficient algorithm is developed for the optimization of the penalized likelihood using majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm. The theoretical results indicate both consistency and sparsistency of the proposed method. We conduct a thorough numerical experiment to demonstrate the advantages of the SLFPCA approach. Our method is further applied to a physical activity dataset.
