Abstract: The classical principal component analysis (PCA) is not sparse enough since it is based on the L2-norm that is also prone to be adversely affected by the presence of outliers and noises. In order to address the problem, a sparse robust PCA framework is proposed based on the min of zero-norm regularization and the max of Lp-norm (0 < p ≤ 2) PCA. Furthermore, we developed a continuous optimization method, DC (difference of convex functions) programming algorithm (DCA), to solve the proposed problem. The resulting algorithm (called DC-LpZSPCA) is convergent linearly. In addition, when choosing different p values, the model can keep robust and is applicable to different data types. Numerical simulations are simulated in artificial data sets and Yale face data sets. Experiment results show that the proposed method can maintain good sparsity and anti-outlier ability.
