Discriminant analysis of regularized multidimensional scaling

Regularized Multidimensional Scaling with Radial basis function (RMDS) is a nonlinear variant of classical Multi-Dimensional Scaling (cMDS). A key issue that has been addressed in RMDS is the effective selection of centers of the radial basis functions that plays a very important role in reducing the dimension preserving the structure of the data in higher dimensional space. RMDS uses data in unsupervised settings that means RMDS does not use any prior information of the dataset. This article is concerned on the supervised setting. Here we have incorporated the class information of some members of data to the RMDS model. The class separability term improved the method RMDS significantly and also outperforms other discriminant analysis methods such as Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) which is documented through numerical experiments.
