Abstract:

This article assesses the suitability of data and dimension reduction methods, and data–dimension reduction combinations, for visual financial performance analysis. Motivated by no comparable quantitative measure of all aspects of dimension reductions, this article attempts to capture the suitability of methods for the task through a qualitative comparison and illustrative experiments. While the discussion deals with differences of data–dimension reduction combinations in terms of their properties, the experiments illustrate their general applicability for financial performance analysis. The main conclusion is that topology-preserving data–dimension reduction combinations with predefined, regular grid shapes, such as the self-organizing map, are ideal tools for this task. We illustrate advantages of these types of methods with a visual financial performance analysis of large European banks.

Abstract:

The past century has witnessed the grand success of brain imaging technologies, such as electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging, in probing cognitive states and pathological brain dynamics for neuroscience research and neurology practices. Human brain is “the most complex object in the universe,” and brain imaging data ( BID ) are routinely of multiple/many attributes and highly non-stationary. These are determined by the nature of BID as the recordings of the evolving processes of the brain(s) under examination in various views. Driven by the increasingly high demands for precision, efficiency, and reliability in neuro-science and engineering tasks, dimensionality reduction has become a priority issue in BID analysis to handle the notoriously high dimensionality and large scale of big BID sets as well as the enormously complicated interdependencies among data elements. This has become particularly urgent and challenging in this big data era. Dimensionality reduction theories and methods manifest unrivaled potential in revealing key insights to BID via offering the low-dimensional/tiny representations/features, which may preserve critical characterizations of massive neuronal activities and brain functional and/or malfunctional states of interest. This study surveys the most salient work along this direction conforming to a 3-dimensional taxonomy with respect to (1) the scale of BID , of which the design with this consideration is important for the potential applications; (2) the order of BID , in which a higher order denotes more BID attributes manipulatable by the method; and (3) linearity , in which the method’s degree of linearity largely determines the “fidelity” in BID exploration. This study defines criteria for qualitative evaluations of these works in terms of effectiveness, interpretability, efficiency, and scalability. The classifications and evaluations based on the taxonomy provide comprehensive guides to (1) how existing research and development efforts are distributed and (2) their performance, features, and potential in influential applications especially when involving big data. In the end, this study crystallizes the open technical issues and proposes research challenges that must be solved to enable further researches in this area of great potential.

Abstract:

Abstract: The effective use of wind-tunnel testing in determining aerodynamic properties of a body is very much dependent upon the reliability and speed with which wind-tunnel data can be reduced. The operating efficiency of the wind tunnels is substantially improved by the capability of providing lower aerodynamic coefficients in real time, or online, which decreases the expensive wind-tunnel time necessary for each test. This paper describes a system for presenting reduced wind-tunnel data in real time for UTM-LST. The requirements for data-handling equipment and data reduction procedures for wind tunnels are quite diverse, and depend upon the wind tunnel design and the type of tests for which they are used. The supersonic wind tunnels mentioned in this description have a variety of force-balance systems and are used for force tests, pressure tests, and other research projects. Consequently, the problems associated with in order to solve this diversity we build a computerized program where we can find the transformation of axis and aerodynamic characteristics at ease. This program can find the values of different aerodynamic coefficients with certain angle of attacks.

Abstract:

Data science is the study of data. It involves developing methods of recording, storing, and analyzing data to effectively extract useful information. The goal of data science is to gain insights and knowledge from any type of data — both structured and unstructured. Data science is related to computer science, but is a separate field. Computer science involves creating programs and algorithms to record and process data, while data science covers any type of data analysis, which may or may not use computers. Data science is more closely related to the mathematics field of Statistics, which includes the collection, organization, analysis, and presentation of data. Because of the large amounts of data modern companies and organizations maintain, data science has become an integral part of IT. For example, a company that has petabytes of user data may use data science to develop effective ways to store, manage, and analyze the data. The company may use the scientific method to run tests and extract results that can provide meaningful insights about their users.

Abstract:

It has been spotted an exponential growth in terms of dimension in real world data. Some example of higher dimensional data may includes speech signal, sensor data, medical data, criminal data and data related to recommendation process for different field like news, movies (Netflix) and e-commerce. To empowering learning accuracy in the area of machine learning and enhancing mining performance one need to remove redundant feature and feature not relevant for mining and learning task from this high dimension dataset. There exist many supervised and unsupervised methodologies in literature to perform dimension reduction. The objective of paper is to present most prominent methodologies related to the field of dimension reduction and highlight advantages along with disadvantages of these algorithms which can act as starting point for beginners of this field.

Abstract:

Abstract Data reduction tools are developed and evaluated using a data analysis framework. Simple (nonadaptive) and intelligent (adaptive) thinning algorithms are applied to both synthetic and real data and the thinned datasets are ingested into an analysis system. The approach is motivated by the desire to better represent high-impact weather features (e.g., fronts, jets, cyclones, etc.) that are often poorly resolved in coarse-resolution forecast models and to efficiently generate a set of initial conditions that best describes the current state of the atmosphere. As a precursor to real-data applications, the algorithms are applied to one- and two-dimensional synthetic datasets. Information gleaned from the synthetic experiments is used to create a thinning algorithm that combines the best aspects of the intelligent methods (i.e., their ability to detect regions of interest) while reducing the impacts of spatial irregularities in the data. Both simple and intelligent thinning algorithms are then applied to Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) temperature and moisture profiles. For a given retention rate, background, and observation error, the optimal 1D analyses (i.e., lowest MSE) tend to have observations that are near regions of large curvature and gradients. Observation error leads to the selection of spurious data in homogeneous regions of the intelligent algorithms. In the 2D experiments, simple thinning tends to perform better within the homogeneous data regions. Analyses produced using AIRS data demonstrate that observations selected via a combination of the simple and intelligent approaches reduce clustering, provide a more even distribution along the satellite swath edges, and, in general, have lower error and comparable computational requirements compared to standard operational thinning methodologies.

Abstract:

Compositional data are nonnegative data carrying relative, rather than absolute, information—these are often data with a constant-sum constraint on the sample values, for example, proportions or percentages summing to 1% or 100%, respectively. Ratios between components of a composition are important since they are unaffected by the particular set of components chosen. Logarithms of ratios (logratios) are the fundamental transformation in the ratio approach to compositional data analysis—all data thus need to be strictly positive, so that zero values present a major problem. Components that group together based on domain knowledge can be amalgamated (i.e., summed) to create new components, and this can alleviate the problem of data zeros. Once compositional data are transformed to logratios, regular univariate and multivariate statistical analysis can be performed, such as dimension reduction and clustering, as well as modeling. Alternative methodologies that come close to the ideals of the logratio approach are also considered, especially those that avoid the problem of data zeros, which is particularly acute in large bioinformatic data sets.

Abstract:

One of the enduring issues of spatial origin-destination (OD) flow data analysis is the computational inefficiency or even the impossibility to handle large datasets. Despite the recent advancements in high performance computing (HPC) and the ready availability of powerful computing infrastructure, we argue that the best solutions are based on a thorough understanding of the fundamental properties of the data. This paper focuses on overcoming the computational challenge through data reduction that intelligently takes advantage of the heavy-tailed distributional property of most flow datasets. We specifically propose the classification technique of head/tail breaks to this end. We test this approach with representative algorithms from three common method families, namely flowAMOEBA from flow clustering, Louvain from network community detection, and PageRank from network centrality algorithms. A variety of flow datasets are adopted for the experiments, including inter-city travel flows, cellphone call flows, and synthetic flows. We propose a standard evaluation framework to evaluate the applicability of not only the selected three algorithms, but any given method in a systematic way. The results prove that head/tail breaks can significantly improve the computational capability and efficiency of flow data analyses while preserving result quality, on condition that the analysis emphasizes the “head” part of the dataset or the flows with high absolute values. We recommend considering this easy-to-implement data reduction technique before analyzing a large flow dataset.
