KPCA Procedure

PROC KPCA Features

The KPCA procedure has the following features:

  • reads input data in parallel when the data source is on a distributed system

  • is multithreaded during all phases of analytic execution

  • supports large-scale training data

  • enables you to choose among linear, polynomial, and radial basis function (Gaussian) kernels

  • enables you to perform fast training and fast scoring of KPCA models

  • enables you to perform the analysis on selected columns of the data

  • enables you to project new data onto principal components that have captured the nonlinear relationship in the data

  • enables you to compute the pre-image of the points in the kernel principal component space back into the original input space
