Abstract

This paper investigates the use of a dimensional reduction method, called cascaded non-linear components analysis (C-NLPCA), in the protein secondary structure prediction problem. C-NLPCA treats dimensional reductions considering the non-linearity of the data. In order to prove the effectiveness of the C-NLPCA, a set of tests are presented, comparing our approach with other existing predictors. The C-NLPCA is revealed to be efficient, propelling a new field of research.
