In the presence of outliers in the dataset, the principal component analysis method, like many of the classical statistical methods, is severely affected. For this reason, if there are outliers in dataset, researchers tend to use alternative methods. Use of fuzzy and robust approaches is the leading choice among these methods. In this study, a new approach to robust fuzzy principal component analysis is proposed. This approach combines the power of both robust and fuzzy methods at the same time and collects these two approaches under the framework of principal component analysis. The performance of proposed approach called robust principal component analysis based on fuzzy coded data is examined through a set of artificial dataset that are generated by considering three different scenarios and a real dataset to observe how it is affected by the increase in sample size and changes in the rate of outliers. In light of the study's findings, it is seen that the proposed approach gives better results than the ones in the classical and robust principal component analysis in the presence of outliers in dataset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
