A statistical view of column subset selection
列子集选择的统计视角
Abstract We consider the problem of selecting a small subset of representative variables from a large dataset. In the computer science literature, this dimensionality reduction problem is typically formalized as column subset selection (CSS). Meanwhile, the typical statistical formalization is to find an information-maximizing set of principal variables. This paper shows that these two approaches are equivalent, and moreover, both can be viewed as maximum-likelihood…
