Abstract

Projection pursuit index measuring quality of projected clusters (QPC) introduced recently optimizes projection directions by minimizing leave-one-out error searching for pure localized clusters. QPC index has been used in constructive neural networks to discover non-local clusters in high-dimensional multiclass data, reduce dimensionality, aggregate features, visualize and classify data. However, for n training instances such optimization requires O(n2) calculations. Fast approximate version of QPC introduced here obtains results of similar quality with O(n) effort, as illustrated in a number of classification and data visualization problems.
