Judul: Visualisasi Data Berkelompok dengan Analisis Komponen Utama Kernel
Abstrak: Visualization is engineered in making drawings, diagrams or animations to the appearance of an information. Visualization is often used in exploratory data analysis to summarize the main characteristic of the data. Its main goal is to communicate information clearly and effectively to users through graphs, plots, and tables so it makes the data to be more accessible, understood and used. For classified data, visualization can be done directly by plotting the data object in the ordinary space. But, for the data with dimension is greater than three, the visualization cannot be done directly. It can be done by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality of the data to be the new data with smaller dimensions, in this case into 2-dimensional space, so it can be visualized. The new variables that represent the data are called principal components. However, PCA could not model the high complexity data with nonlinear relationships among variables. Therefore, Kernel PCA was developed as the generalization of ordinary PCA. Implicitly, Kernel PCA is a nonlinear form of ordinary PCA which maps the original data that have nonlinear relationships among variables into highdimensional feature space. At the space, the data obtained has linear relationships among variables so that ordinary PCA can be applied. This study aimed to compare the result of visualization between PCA and Kernel PCA in separating the data. In Kernel PCA, kernel function used in this study is Gaussian kernel function with  as parameter. The ability of Gaussian kernel function to map the classified data into feature space to obtain the separation among classes is very dependent on the parameter. So that, before using Kernel PCA, we need to assess the selection method for parameter σ in Gaussian kernel function to visualize of classified data that minimize misclassification. The classification used Fisher linear discriminant analysis to show the separation of the data in the feature space. By empirical study of the two synthetic data sets, namely Wang Synthetic Data set and Synthetic Control Chart Time Series Data set and two real world data sets, namely Iris Data set and Wine Data set, we obtained that Kernel PCA gave better results in visualizing the separation of the data compared with PCA. Parameter values in Gauss kernel function for Kernel PCA which provides results visualization to minimize misclassification is proposed to be selected in the interval min ,max  ; . i j i j   

Judul: Data classification using kernel principal component analysis with isotropic function
Abstrak: Analisis komponen utama (AKU) merupakan bentuk khusus dari AKU kernel dengan fungsi kernel linear. Tujuan dari studi ini ialah untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan data yang tak terpisahkan secara linear dan mengklasifikasikan suatu objek ke dalam kelompok menggunakan AKU kernel sehingga diperoleh salah klasifikasi terkecil. Pengklasifikasian kelompok menggunakan AKU kernel diselesaikan dengan fungsi kernel linear dan fungsi isotropik (Gauss dan gelombang). Hasil untuk data pengenalan anggur menunjukkan bahwa fungsi kernel linear memberikan salah klasifikasi 6.74%, sedangkan fungsi isotropik yaitu Gauss dan gelombang masing-masing memberikan salah klasifikasi 2.25% dan 7.30%. Kata kunci: analisis komponen utama, kernel, isotropik., Principal component analysis (PCA) is a special case of the kernel PCA with linear kernel function. The aim of this study is to resolve the data problem that is not linearly separable and to classify objects into a group by using kernel PCA to obtain the smallest classification error. Group classification using kernel PCA is performed by the linear kernel function and isotropic function, i.e., Gauss and wave functions. The result of the study shows for wine recognition data with the linear function produces 6.74% classification error, whereas Gauss and wave isotropic functions produce 2.25 % and 7.30% classification error, respectively. Keywords: principal component analysis, kernel, isotropic.
