maxstablePCA
A package for dimensionality reduction of multivariate extremes using
the idea of PCA to obtain a resonable compact description of the
data.
Main functionalities
- Transform a dataset to standard margins to use well known ideas from
extreme value theory
- Perform a dimensionality reduction of a dataset to a fixed number of
encoding variables. For further information about the theory of this
consider looking at the references.
- Evaluate the quality of this reconstruction.
- Transform the data back to the distribution of the original
dataset.
Examples on simulated
and real world data
