Performing nonlinear dimension reduction with ISOMAP
ISOMAP is one of the approaches for manifold learning, which generalizes linear framework to nonlinear data structures. Similar to MDS, ISOMAP creates a visual presentation of similarities or dissimilarities (distance) of a number of objects. However, as the data is structured in a nonlinear format, the Euclidian distance measure of MDS is replaced by the geodesic distance of a data manifold in ISOMAP. In this recipe, we will illustrate how to perform a nonlinear dimension reduction with ISOMAP.
Getting ready
In this recipe, we will use the digits data from RnavGraphImageData as our input source.
