Estimating Local Dimensionality

Published

Author(s)

D L. Banks, R Olszewski

Abstract

This paper suggests that one can use principal components analysis to assess the local dimensionality in a complex dataset. If this is large, then data mining is unlikely to be successful. If it is small, then various statistical techniques may be able to uncover hidden structure.
