Abstract

Identification of relationships between multiple factors in multidimensional data sets is of crucial importance in many areas of science. This is especially true in fields where multiple parameters interact with each other and create complex structures and dynamics. In this paper, we present a method based on Taylor series expansion for flattening of high dimensional arrays. The method uses the unit, shift, forward and backward difference operators in order to produce an array whose elements are approximately in constant form. Furthermore, the method inserts a perturbation proportionality variable t for each instance of the forward and backward difference operators. Array flattening takes place asymptotically and some of the first elements produced by the Maclaurin expansion are discarded through an appropriate affine transformation. Subsequently, t is set to be equal to 1 which results in an approximately constant array. Once such constancy is achieved, a specific type of high dimensional model representation, namely HDMR can be used in order to approximate the flattened array by truncating higher order components of HDMR. Finally, the flattened array can be multiplied by the Taylor polynomial previously used in the flattening procedure to get a good approximation of the original array.
