New PCA method for probability measures reveals sparse-dense sampling transition

Researchers have developed a new method for performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on probability measures by embedding them into a Hilbert space. This approach addresses the challenge of analyzing multiple measures, each represented by a set of samples. The study derives convergence rates that characterize the relationship between the number of measures and the number of samples per measure, revealing a transition from sparse to dense sampling regimes. Numerical experiments confirm these theoretical findings and suggest that subsampling can maintain PCA accuracy while improving computational efficiency. AI

    PCA of probability measures: Sparse and Dense sampling regimes

    arXiv:2602.02190v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A common approach to perform PCA on probability measures is to embed them into a Hilbert space where standard functional PCA techniques apply. While convergence rates for estimating the embedding of a single measure from $m$ sam…
