Purvis","Didong Li"],"abstract":"Modern datasets often exhibit high dimensionality, yet the data reside in low-dimensional manifolds that can reveal underlying geometric structures critical for data analysis. A prime example of such a dataset is a collection of cell cycle measurements, where the inherently cyclical nature of the process can be represented as a circle or sphere. Motivated by the need to analyze these types of datasets, we propose a nonlinear dimension reduction method, Spherical Rotation Component Analysis (SRCA), that incorporates geometric information to better approximate low-dimensional manifolds. SRCA is a versatile method designed to work in both high-dimensional and small sample size settings. By employing spheres or ellipsoids, SRCA provides a low-rank spherical representation of the data with general theoretic guarantees, effectively retaining the geometric structure of the dataset during dimensionality reduction. A comprehensive simulation study, along with a successful application to human cell cycle data, further highlights the advantages of SRCA compared to state-of-the-art alternatives, demonstrating its superior performance in approximating the manifold while preserving inherent geometric structures.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.10975v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.10975v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"spherical-rotation-dimension-reduction-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/hrluo/sphericalrotationdimensionreduction","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"dimensionality-reduction","task_name":"Dimensionality Reduction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
