Abstract

This thesis treats kernel PCA and the Nystrom method. We present a novel incre- ¨ mental algorithm for calculation of kernel PCA, which we extend to incremental calculation of the Nystrom approximation. We suggest a new data-dependent ¨ method to select the number of data points to include in the Nystrom subset, ¨ and create a statistical hypothesis test for the same purpose. We further present a cross-validation procedure for kernel PCA to select the number of principal components to retain. Finally, we derive kernel PCA with the Nystrom method ¨ in line with linear PCA and study its statistical accuracy through a confidence bound.
