On Robustness of Principal Component Regression
主成分回归的稳健性
Principal component regression (PCR) is a simple, but powerful and ubiquitously utilized method. Its effectiveness is well established when the covariates exhibit low-rank structure. However, its ability to handle settings with noisy, missing, and mixed-valued, that is, discrete and continuous, covariates is not understood and remains an important open challenge. As the main contribution of this work, we establish the robustness of PCR, without any change, in this respect…
