• Abstract summary: The mixture extension of exponential family principal component analysis ( EPCA) was designed to encode much more structural information about data distribution than the traditional EPCA. The traditional mixture of local EPCAs has the problem of model redundancy, i.e., overlaps among mixing components, which may cause ambiguity for data clustering. In this paper, a repulsiveness-encouraging prior is introduced among mixing components and a diversified EPCA mixture (DEPCAM) model is developed in the Bayesian framework.

• Abstract: The mixture extension of exponential family principal component analysis (EPCA) was designed to encode much more structural information about data distribution than the traditional EPCA does. For example, due to the linearity of EPCA's essential form, nonlinear cluster structures cannot be easily handled, but they are explicitly modeled by the mixing extensions. However, the traditional mixture of local EPCAs has the problem of model redundancy, i.e., overlaps among mixing components, which may cause ambiguity for data clustering. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, a repulsiveness-encouraging prior is introduced among mixing components and a diversified EPCA mixture (DEPCAM) model is developed in the Bayesian framework. Specifically, a determinantal point process (DPP) is exploited as a diversity-encouraging prior distribution over the joint local EPCAs. As required, a matrix-valued measure for L-ensemble kernel is designed, within which, $\ell_1$ constraints are imposed to facilitate selecting effective PCs of local EPCAs, and angular based similarity measure are proposed. An efficient variational EM algorithm is derived to perform parameter learning and hidden variable inference. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of model parsimony and generalization ability on unseen test data.

  We introduce a robust post-integrated inference (PII) method that adjusts for latent heterogeneity using negative control outcomes. Our method extends to projected direct effect estimands, accounting for hidden mediators, confounders, and moderators. The proposed doubly robust estimators are consistent and efficient under minimal assumptions and potential misspecification.

We show that this model is identifiable if the components are either non-Gaussian or have enough diversity in noise variances. We provide empirical evidence on fMRI and MEG datasets that ShICA yields more accurate estimation of the components than alternatives.
