Abstract

This paper describes an extension of principal component analysis (PCA) allowing the extraction of a limited number of relevant features from high-dimensional fuzzy data. Our approach exploits the ability of linear autoassociative neural networks to perform information compression in just the same way as PCA, without explicit matrix diagonalization. Fuzzy input values are propagated through the network using fuzzy arithmetics, and the weights are adjusted to minimize a suitable error criterion, the inputs being taken as target outputs. The concept of correlation coefficient is extended to fuzzy numbers, allowing the interpretation of the new features in terms of the original variables. Experiments with artificial and real sensory evaluation data demonstrate the ability of our method to provide concise representations of complex fuzzy data.
