Researchers have developed a new framework for archetypal analysis (AA) that efficiently handles discrete data, a significant improvement over traditional methods suited for continuous data. This new approach supports Bernoulli, Poisson, and multinomial models and uses an optimization scheme with sequential minimal optimization (SMO) for better scalability. The framework also includes a cross-validated predictive likelihood criterion for selecting the optimal number of archetypes, offering a more principled model selection method. Applications to RNA sequencing, microbiome composition, and mutation data demonstrate its ability to capture interpretable structures and provide stable, competitive fits. AI
