Abstract

Two contexts may be considered, in which it is of interest to reduce the dimension of a data set. One of these arises when the intention is to mitigate the curse of dimensionality, when the data set will be used for training a data mining algorithm with a heavy computational load. The other is when one wishes to identify the data set attributes that have a stronger relation with either the class, if dealing with a classification problem, or the value to be predicted, if dealing with a regression problem. Recently, various linear regression projection models have been proposed that attempt to conserve those directions that show the highest correlation with the value to be predicted: Localized Slices Inverse Regression, Weighted Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis for regression. However, the papers that have presented these methods use only a small number of data sets to validate their smooth functioning. In this research, a more exhaustive study is conducted using 30 data sets. Moreover, by applying the ideas behind these methods, a further three new methods are also presented and included in the comparative study; one of which is competitive with the methods recently proposed.
