Adaptive Principal Surfaces

TLDR
In this paper, a nonlinear generalization of principal components analysis (PCA) is developed for curve and surface reconstruction and to data summarization, and a principal surface of the data is constructed adaptively, using some ideas from the MARS procedure of Friedman.
Abstract
We develop a nonlinear generalization of principal components analysis. A principal surface of the data is constructed adaptively, using some ideas from the MARS procedure of Friedman. We explore applications to curve and surface reconstruction and to data summarization.

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines

TL;DR: In this article, a new method is presented for flexible regression modeling of high dimensional data, which takes the form of an expansion in product spline basis functions, where the number of basis functions as well as the parameters associated with each one (product degree and knot locations) are automatically determined by the data.
