Abstract

Non-Gaussian component analysis (NGCA) introduced in [24] offered a method for high-dimensional data analysis allowing for identifying a low-dimensional non-Gaussian component of the whole distribution in an iterative and structure adaptive way. An important step of the NGCA procedure is identification of the non-Gaussian subspace using principle component analysis (PCA) method. This article proposes a new approach to NGCA called sparse NGCA which replaces the PCA-based procedure with a new the algorithm we refer to as convex projection.
