Download or read book A New Projected Quasi newton Approach for the Nonnegative Least Squares Problem written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constrained least squares estimation lies at the heart of many applications in a wide array of fields such as statistics, psychometrics, and signal processing, among others. The simplest constraints that usually arise are those of non-negativity, and the associated least-squares problem is called Nonnegative least squares (NNLS). This report presents a new, efficient, and scalable Quasi-Newton-type method for solving the NNLS problem. Experiments demonstrate that our algorithm significantly outperforms well-known methods for solving NNLS, especially when the problem size becomes large. Other important benefits of our algorithm are ease of implementation and the ability to exploit sparsity in the input.

Download or read book Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations written by Andrzej Cichocki and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad survey of models and efficient algorithms for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). This includes NMF’s various extensions and modifications, especially Nonnegative Tensor Factorizations (NTF) and Nonnegative Tucker Decompositions (NTD). NMF/NTF and their extensions are increasingly used as tools in signal and image processing, and data analysis, having garnered interest due to their capability to provide new insights and relevant information about the complex latent relationships in experimental data sets. It is suggested that NMF can provide meaningful components with physical interpretations; for example, in bioinformatics, NMF and its extensions have been successfully applied to gene expression, sequence analysis, the functional characterization of genes, clustering and text mining. As such, the authors focus on the algorithms that are most useful in practice, looking at the fastest, most robust, and suitable for large-scale models. Key features: Acts as a single source reference guide to NMF, collating information that is widely dispersed in current literature, including the authors’ own recently developed techniques in the subject area. Uses generalized cost functions such as Bregman, Alpha and Beta divergences, to present practical implementations of several types of robust algorithms, in particular Multiplicative, Alternating Least Squares, Projected Gradient and Quasi Newton algorithms. Provides a comparative analysis of the different methods in order to identify approximation error and complexity. Includes pseudo codes and optimized MATLAB source codes for almost all algorithms presented in the book. The increasing interest in nonnegative matrix and tensor factorizations, as well as decompositions and sparse representation of data, will ensure that this book is essential reading for engineers, scientists, researchers, industry practitioners and graduate students across signal and image processing; neuroscience; data mining and data analysis; computer science; bioinformatics; speech processing; biomedical engineering; and multimedia.

Download or read book Nonnegative Matrix Factorization written by Nicolas Gillis and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) in its modern form has become a standard tool in the analysis of high-dimensional data sets. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the most important aspects of the NMF problem and is the first to detail its theoretical aspects, including geometric interpretation, nonnegative rank, complexity, and uniqueness. It explains why understanding these theoretical insights is key to using this computational tool effectively and meaningfully. Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is accessible to a wide audience and is ideal for anyone interested in the workings of NMF. It discusses some new results on the nonnegative rank and the identifiability of NMF and makes available MATLAB codes for readers to run the numerical examples presented in the book. Graduate students starting to work on NMF and researchers interested in better understanding the NMF problem and how they can use it will find this book useful. It can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on numerical linear algebra and on advanced topics in numerical linear algebra and requires only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and optimization.
Download or read book On the Successive Projections Approach to Least Squares Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper suggests a generalized Gauss-Seidel approach to sparse linear and nonlinear least squares problems. The algorithm, closely related to one given by Elfving, uses the work of Curtis, Powell, and Reid as extended by Coleman and More) to divide the variables into nondisjoint groups of structurally orthogonal columns and then projects the updated residual into each column subspace of the Jacobian in turn. In the linear case, this procedure can be viewed as an alternate ordering of the variables in the Gauss-Seidel method. Preliminary tests indicate that this leads quickly to cheap solutions of limited accuracy for linear problems, and that this approach is promising for an inexact Gauss Newton analog of the inexact Newton approach of Dembo, Eisenstat, and Steihaug.

Download or read book On the Nonnegative Least Squares written by Claudio Prata Santiago and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this document, we study the nonnegative least squares primal-dual method for solving linear programming problems. In particular, we investigate connections between this primal-dual method and the classical Hungarian method for the assignment problem. Firstly, we devise a fast procedure for computing the unrestricted least squares solution of a bipartite matching problem by exploiting the special structure of the incidence matrix of a bipartite graph. Moreover, we explain how to extract a solution for the cardinality matching problem from the nonnegative least squares solution. We also give an efficient procedure for solving the cardinality matching problem on general graphs using the nonnegative least squares approach. Next we look into some theoretical results concerning the minimization of p-norms, and separable differentiable convex functions, subject to linear constraints described by node-arc incidence matrices for graphs. Our main result is the reduction of the assignment problem to a single nonnegative least squares problem. This means that the primal-dual approach can be made to converge in one step for the assignment problem. This method does not reduce the primal-dual approach to one step for general linear programming problems, but it appears to give a good starting dual feasible point for the general problem.

Download or read book Iterative Methods for Optimization written by C. T. Kelley and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a carefully selected group of methods for unconstrained and bound constrained optimization problems and analyzes them in depth both theoretically and algorithmically. It focuses on clarity in algorithmic description and analysis rather than generality, and while it provides pointers to the literature for the most general theoretical results and robust software, the author thinks it is more important that readers have a complete understanding of special cases that convey essential ideas. A companion to Kelley's book, Iterative Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Equations (SIAM, 1995), this book contains many exercises and examples and can be used as a text, a tutorial for self-study, or a reference. Iterative Methods for Optimization does more than cover traditional gradient-based optimization: it is the first book to treat sampling methods, including the Hooke-Jeeves, implicit filtering, MDS, and Nelder-Mead schemes in a unified way, and also the first book to make connections between sampling methods and the traditional gradient-methods. Each of the main algorithms in the text is described in pseudocode, and a collection of MATLAB codes is available. Thus, readers can experiment with the algorithms in an easy way as well as implement them in other languages.
