Background

Multilinear methods may be causal in nature and perform causal inference, or they may be simple regression methods from which no causal conclusion are drawn.

learning algorithms are traditional dimensionality reduction techniques that are well suited for datasets that are the result of varying a single causal factor. Unfortunately, they often become inadequate when dealing with datasets that are the result of multiple causal factors. . Multilinear subspace learning can be applied to observations whose measurements were vectorized and organized into a data tensor for causally aware dimensionality reduction,. These methods may also be employed in reducing horizontal and vertical redundancies irrespective of the causal factors when the observations are treated as a "matrix" (ie. a collection of independent column/row observations) and concatenated into a tensor.S.

Multilinear principal component analysis

Historically, multilinear principal component analysis has been referred to as "M-mode PCA", a terminology which was coined by Peter Kroonenberg.P. M. Kroonenberg and J. de Leeuw

in 1960s. *A TVP is a direct projection of a high-dimensional tensor to a low-dimensional vector, which is also referred to as the rank-one projections. As TVP projects a tensor to a vector, it can be viewed as multiple projections from a tensor to a scalar. Thus, the TVP of a tensor to a ''P''-dimensional vector consists of ''P'' projections from the tensor to a scalar. The projection from a tensor to a scalar is an elementary multilinear projection (EMP). In EMP, a tensor is projected to a point through ''N'' unit projection vectors. It is the projection of a tensor on a single line (resulting a scalar), with one projection vector in each mode. Thus, the TVP of a tensor object to a vector in a ''P''-dimensional vector space consists of ''P'' EMPs. This projection is an extension of the canonical decomposition, also known as the parallel factors (PARAFAC) decomposition.


Typical approach in MSL

There are ''N'' sets of parameters to be solved, one in each mode. The solution to one set often depends on the other sets (except when ''N=1'', the linear case). Therefore, the suboptimal iterative procedure inL. D. Lathauwer, B. D. Moor, J. Vandewalle,

is followed. #Initialization of the projections in each mode #For each mode, fixing the projection in all the other mode, and solve for the projection in the current mode. #Do the mode-wise optimization for a few iterations or until convergence. This is originated from the alternating least square method for multi-way data analysis.
