P-ISOMAP:A New ISOMAP-Based Data Visualization Algorithm with Less Sensitivity to the Neighborhood Size
The success of ISOMAP depends greatly on choosing a suitable neighborhood size
however
it is still an open problem how to do this effectively.Based on characteristics of the SOMST (Second-Order Minimal Spanning Tree) in which shortcut edges can be avoided
this paper presented a variant of ISOMAP
i.e.P-ISOMAP (Pruned-ISOMAP).P-ISOMAP can prune effectively shortcut edges existed possibly in the neighborhood graph according to their costs over the SOMST
and thus is much less sensitive to the neighborhood size than ISOMAP.Consequently
P-ISOMAP can be applied to data visualization more easily than ISOMAP for the open problem described above can be avoided to a certain extent;in addition
P-ISOMAP can also be more topologically stable and robust than ISOMAP.Finally
the feasibility and effectivity of P-ISOMAP can be verified by experimental results very well.
