Non-negative Matrix Factorization: Assessing Methods for Evaluating the Number of Components, and the Effect of Normalization Thereon
Master's Thesis
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a relatively new method of matrix decomposition which factors an m-by-n data matrix X into an m-by-k matrix W and a k-by-n matrix H, so that X = W x H. Importantly, all values in X, W, and H are constrained to be non-negative. NMF can be used for dimensionality reduction, since the k columns of W can be considered components or latent "parts" into which X has been decomposed. The question arises: how does one choose k? In this thesis, we assess…
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a relatively new method of matrix decomposition which factors an m-by-n data matrix X into an m-by-k matrix W and a k-by-n matrix H, so that X = W x H. Importantly, all values in X, W, and H are constrained to be non-negative. NMF can be used for dimensionality reduction, since the k columns of W can be considered components or latent "parts" into which X has been decomposed. The question arises: how does one choose k? In this thesis, we assess multiple methods for estimating the number of components k in the context of NMF, and we also examine the effects of various types of normalization on this estimate. We conclude that when estimating k, it is best not to perform any normalization. If it is known or assumed that the underlying components are orthogonal or nearly so, then perhaps Velicer's MAP or Minka's Laplace-PCA method might be best to use. However, in the general case where it is unknown whether the underlying components are orthogonal or not, none of the methods for estimating k seemed obviously better than the others.
