Principal Component Analysis
 Motivation: (statistical) learning from high-dimensional data
DNA microarray
Traffic surveillance
 Principal component analysis (PCA) [Pearson’1901]
 Extraction of low-dimensional data structure
 Data compression and reconstruction
 PCA is non-robust to outliers [Jolliffe’86]
 Our goal: robustify PCA by controlling outlier sparsity

Our work in context
 Contemporary applications
 Anomaly detection in IP networks [Huang et al’07], [Kim et al’09]
 Video surveillance, e.g., [Oliver et al’99]

`Outliers’
 Robust PCA
 Robust covariance matrix estimators [Campbell’80], [Huber’81]
 Computer vision [Xu-Yuille’95], [De la Torre-Black’03]
 Low-rank matrix recovery from sparse errors [Wright et al’09]
 Huber’s M-class and sparsity in linear regression [Fuchs’99]

PCA formulations
 Training data:
 Minimum reconstruction error:
 Dimensionality reduction operator
 Reconstruction operator
 Maximum variance:
 Factor analysis model:
Solution:

Robustifying PCA
 Least-trimmed squares (LTS) regression [Rousseeuw’87]
LTS-based PCA for robustness
(LTS PCA)
is the
-th order statistic among
Trimming constant
determines breakdown point
 Q: How should we go about minimizing
?
(LTS PCA) is nonconvex; existence of minimizer(s)?
A: Try all
subsets of size , solve, and pick the best
 Simple but intractable beyond small problems
5
Modeling outliers
 Introduce auxiliary variables
 Inliers obey
 Inlier noise:
s.t.
inlier
outlier
; outliers something else
are zero-mean i.i.d. random vectors
 Remarks

and
are unknown
 If outliers sporadic, then vector is sparse!
 Natural (but intractable) estimator
6
LTS PCA as sparse regression
 Lagrangian form
(P0)
 Tuning
Proposition 1: If
, then
controls sparsity in
, thus number of outliers
solves (P0) with
chosen such that
solves (LTS PCA) too.
 Justifies the model and its estimator (P0); ties sparsity with robustness
7
Just relax!
 (P0) is NP-hard
relax
(P2)
 Role of sparsity controlling
is central
 Q: Does (P2) yield robust estimates
?
A: Yap! Huber estimator is a special case
8
Entrywise outliers
 Use
-norm regularization
(P1)


update: reduced-rank Procrustes rotation
update: coordinatewise soft-thresholding
Proposition 2: Alg. 1’s iterates converge to a stationary point of (P1).

Refinements
 Nonconvex penalty terms approximate
better in (P0)
 Options: SCAD [Fan-Li’01], or sum-of-logs [Candes etal’08]
 Iterative linearization-minimization of
around
 Iteratively reweighted version of Alg. 1
 Warm start: solution of (P1) or (P2)
 Bias reduction in
(cf. weighted Lasso [Zou’06])
 Discard outliers identified in
 Re-estimate
missing data problem
11
Online robust PCA
 Motivation: Real-time data and memory limitations
 Exponentially-weighted robust PCA
 Approximation
[Yang’95]
 At time , do not re-estimate past outlier vectors
