Solve the curse of dimensionality by implementing the PCA algorithm on a high-dimensional

import numpy as np import pandas as pd from sklearn.datasets import make_classification from sklearn.decomposition import PCA import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Step 1: Generate a High-Dimensional Dataset # Create a synthetic dataset with 100 features X, y = make_classification(n_samples=500, n_features=100, n_informative=10, n_redundant=20, random_state=42) # Convert the data to a DataFrame for easy manipulation data = pd.DataFrame(X) print("Original Data Shape:", data.shape) # Step 2: Apply PCA for Dimensionality Reduction # Specify the number of components to retain (e.g., keep 2 components for visualization) pca = PCA(n_components=2) reduced_data = pca.fit_transform(data) # Check the shape of the reduced data print("Reduced Data Shape:", reduced_data.shape) # Step 3: Check Explained Variance # This shows how much variance is retained by the selected components explained_variance = pca.explained_variance_ratio_ print("\nExplained Variance by each principal co...

Principal Component Analysis

  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a dimensionality reduction technique that transforms high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional form while preserving as much of the original data’s variance as possible. PCA achieves this by creating new, uncorrelated variables called principal components , which are linear combinations of the original variables. These principal components capture the directions of maximum variance in the data, with the first few components typically containing most of the information. How PCA Works Standardize the Data : Center and scale the data so that each feature has a mean of zero and a variance of one. This step ensures that features with larger scales don’t dominate the results. Compute the Covariance Matrix : Calculate the covariance matrix to understand how features vary with respect to each other. Calculate Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors : Determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix. Eigenvectors define the directions (...

Curse of Dimensionality

 The curse of dimensionality refers to the various phenomena that arise when analyzing data in high-dimensional spaces that do not occur in low-dimensional settings. As the number of dimensions (features) in a dataset increases, several challenges emerge, often making analysis, machine learning, and statistical modeling difficult and inefficient. Here’s a breakdown of the key issues: 1. Sparsity of Data In high-dimensional spaces, data points become sparse. As dimensions increase, the volume of the space grows exponentially, and a fixed number of data points becomes sparse in this larger space. For example, if we were to add new features to a dataset with a fixed number of samples, the density of the samples in the feature space decreases, leading to sparse data and difficulty in finding meaningful patterns. 2. Distance Metrics Lose Meaning Many machine learning algorithms rely on distance metrics (e.g., Euclidean distance). In high dimensions, the distance between any two points ...

Gaussian Mixture Model

A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a probabilistic model used for clustering and density estimation. It assumes that data is generated from a mixture of several Gaussian distributions, each representing a cluster within the dataset. Unlike K-means, which assigns data points to the nearest cluster centroid deterministically, GMM considers each data point as belonging to each cluster with a certain probability, allowing for soft clustering. GMM is ideal when: Clusters have elliptical shapes or different spreads : GMM captures varying shapes and densities, unlike K-means, which assumes clusters are spherical. Soft clustering is preferred : If you want to know the probability of a data point belonging to each cluster (not a hard assignment). Data has overlapping clusters : GMM allows a point to belong partially to multiple clusters, which is helpful when clusters have significant overlap. Applications of GMM Image Segmentation : Used to segment images into regions, where each region can be...

DBSCAN

DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a popular density-based clustering algorithm that groups data points based on their density in feature space. It’s beneficial for datasets with clusters of varying shapes, sizes, and densities, and can identify noise or outliers. Step 1: Initialize Parameters Define two important parameters: Epsilon (ε) : The maximum distance between two points for them to be considered neighbors. Minimum Points (minPts) : The minimum number of points required in an ε-radius neighborhood for a point to be considered a core point. Step 2: Label Each Point as Core, Border, or Noise For each data point P P P in the dataset: Find all points within the ε radius of P P P (the ε-neighborhood of P P P ). Core Point : If P P P has at least minPts points within its ε-neighborhood, it’s marked as a core point. Border Point : If P P P has fewer than minPts points in its ε-neighborhood but is within the ε-neighborhood of a core point, it’...

K-Mean Clustering

 K-means clustering is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm used to partition a dataset into distinct groups, or clusters. The goal is to group similar data points together while maximizing the differences between clusters. Here's how it works: 1.       Initialization : Choose the number of clusters k and randomly initialize k centroids (the center points of the clusters). 2.       Assignment Step : Assign each data point to the nearest centroid, forming k clusters. 3.       Update Step : Recalculate the centroids by taking the mean of all data points in each cluster. 4.       Repeat : Continue the assignment and update steps until the centroids no longer change significantly or a set number of iterations is reached. K-means is popular due to its simplicity and efficiency, but it has some limitations, such as sensitivity to the initial placement of centroids and di...
