Researchers have developed new methods for Principal Component Analysis (PCA) that are more robust to heavy-tailed data and impulsive noise. One approach, Principal Component Highly Adaptive Lasso (PCHAL) and Ridge (PCHAR), uses a principal-component reduction of a basis to improve computational efficiency over existing methods like HAL and HAR. Another method, Heavy-Tailed Principal Component Analysis, formulates PCA under a logarithmic loss to handle distributions where moments may not exist, showing that principal components align with those of an underlying Gaussian generator.
