Motivation

UCI Adult dataset

  • The dataset was extracted from the 1994 Census bureau database by Ronny Kohavi and Barry Becker.
  • Fore more about the dataset, read UCI Adult dataset.
  • Dimension: (32561, 15), and some columns are shown below:
age workclass education marital.status occupation relationship
0 90 ? HS-grad Widowed ? Not-in-family
1 82 Private HS-grad Widowed Exec-managerial Not-in-family
2 66 ? Some-college Widowed ? Unmarried
3 54 Private 7th-8th Divorced Machine-op-inspct Unmarried
4 41 Private Some-college Separated Prof-specialty Own-child
  • Any problem you can see from the above table?
  • We will simply drop the rows with missing values for demonstration purpose.

Motivation

UCI Adult dataset

  • Challenge when dealing with categorical data:
    • How to visualize category-to-category relationship between two or more categorical variables?
    • How to reduce the dimension of categorical data?
    • How to cluster categorical data?
  • Correspondence Analysis (CA) is a powerful Data Analysis technique to address these challenges.
  • It can be considered as the counterpart of PCA for categorical data.
  • After rejecting the null hypothesis of independency in \(\chi^2\)-test, one may want to explore the association between two categorical variables.
  • This is where CA comes into play. It offers a way to visualize the association between two categorical variables in a low dimension.

Contingency Table

  • Two-way contingency table between workclass and marital.status:
Code 
data_clean = data[['workclass', 'marital.status']].query("(workclass not in ['?', 'Never-worked', 'Without-pay'])  and (`marital.status` not in ['?', 'Married-AF-spouse'])")
contingency_table = pd.crosstab(data_clean['workclass'], data_clean['marital.status'])

\(\chi^2\) Test of Independence

Code 
from scipy.stats import chi2_contingency
chi2, p, dof, expected = chi2_contingency(contingency_table)
print(f"Chi-square val: {chi2:.4f}.")
print(f"P-value: {p:.4f}.")
Chi-square val: 1091.7196.
P-value: 0.0000.
  • As the p-value is very small, we reject the null hypothesis of independence.
  • Next, we shall explore the association between these two categorical variables.
  • Bivariate plot may be used:
Code 
import plotly.express as px
df_freq = data_clean.groupby(['workclass', 'marital.status']).size().reset_index(name='Freq')
df_freq['percent'] = df_freq.groupby('workclass')['Freq'].apply(lambda x: x/x.sum() * 100).reset_index(level=0, drop=True)
fig = px.bar(
    df_freq, 
    x="workclass", 
    y="percent",
    color="marital.status",
    barmode='stack',
    text= df_freq['percent'].round(2).astype(str) + '%')
fig.update_layout(width=510, height=430, 
    title='Stacked Barplot of `Workclass` vs `Marital Status`',
    xaxis_title='Workclass',
    yaxis_title='Percentage (%)',
    legend_title='Marital Status')
fig.update_traces(textposition='inside')
fig.show()

\(\chi^2\) Test of Independence

  • However, the bivariate plot may not clearly show the association between categories of the two variables.
  • It only shows the distribution of marital.status within each workclass category.
  • CA offers a complete picture of the association between the two variables.

Contingency Table of Proportions

  • Let \(\color{blue}{X}\) and \(\color{red}{Y}\) be two categorical variables with \(\color{blue}{I}\) and \(\color{red}{J}\) categories, respectively. The contingency table of proportion \(P = (p_{ij})\) is given by:

\[ P=\begin{array}{|c|cccc|c|} \color{blue}{X} \setminus \color{red}{Y} & \color{red}{Y_1} & \color{red}{Y_2} & \dots & \color{red}{Y_J} & \color{blue}{\text{r}} \\ \hline \color{blue}{X_1} & p_{11} & p_{12} & \dots & p_{1J} & \color{blue}{r_1} \\ \color{blue}{X_2} & p_{21} & p_{22} & \dots & p_{2J} & \color{blue}{r_2} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\ \color{blue}{X_I} & p_{I1} & p_{I2} & \dots & p_{IJ} & \color{blue}{r_I} \\ \hline \color{red}{\text{c}} & \color{red}{c_1} & \color{red}{c_2} & \dots & \color{red}{c_J} & 1 \end{array} \]

  • \(N=\sum_{i,j}n_{ij}\): total observations.
  • \(p_{ij} = n_{ij}/N\): proportion of type \((i,j)\).
  • \(\color{blue}{r_i} = \sum_{j=1}^{J} p_{ij}\): row marginal prop.
  • \(\color{red}{c_j} = \sum_{i=1}^{I} p_{ij}\): col. marginal prop.
  • Row profile for the row \(\color{blue}{i}\) is given by: \(\left(\frac{p_{\color{blue}{i}1}}{\color{blue}{r_i}},\frac{p_{\color{blue}{i}2}}{\color{blue}{r_i}}, \ldots, \frac{p_{\color{blue}{i}J}}{\color{blue}{r_i}}\right)\).
  • Column profile for the column \(\color{red}{j}\) is given by: \(\left(\frac{p_{1\color{red}{j}}}{\color{red}{c_j}}, \frac{p_{2\color{red}{j}}}{\color{red}{c_j}}, \ldots, \frac{p_{I\color{red}{j}}}{\color{red}{c_j}}\right)\).

Definition of \(\chi^2\) distance

  • The \(\chi^2\) distance between two row profiles \(\color{blue}{i}\) and \(\color{blue}{i'}\): \[d^2(\color{blue}{i}, \color{blue}{i'}) = \sum_{j=1}^{J} \frac{1}{\color{red}{c_j}}\left(\frac{p_{\color{blue}{i}j}}{\color{blue}{r_i}} - \frac{p_{\color{blue}{i'}j}}{\color{blue}{r_{i'}}}\right)^2 \]

\(\chi^2\) distance in detail

Definition of \(\chi^2\) distance

  • The \(\chi^2\) distance between two row or column profiles measures how different they are using weighted difference.
  • Intuition: a small difference in a rare category is more significant than the same difference in a common category.
  • For example, consider \(\chi^2\)-distance of our workclass row profiles:
Code 
import numpy as np
from scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, squareform
import pandas as pd

def chi_squared_distance_matrix(contingency_table):
    """
    Computes the pairwise Chi-squared distance matrix for the row profiles
    of a contingency table.
    
    Args:
        contingency_table (np.array or pd.DataFrame): The raw count data.
        
    Returns:
        pd.DataFrame: A square symmetric distance matrix.
    """
    # Ensure input is a numpy array
    data = np.array(contingency_table, dtype=float)
    
    # 1. Compute Row Profiles (r_ij = n_ij / n_i.)
    # Sum across columns to get row totals
    row_sums = data.sum(axis=1)[:, np.newaxis]
    # Avoid division by zero
    row_profiles = np.divide(data, row_sums, where=row_sums!=0)
    
    # 2. Compute Column Masses (c_j = n_.j / N)
    grand_total = data.sum()
    col_sums = data.sum(axis=0)
    col_masses = col_sums / grand_total
    
    # 3. Transform data for Weighted Euclidean Calculation
    # We weigh the coordinates by 1 / sqrt(col_masses)
    # This turns the Chi-sq distance into a standard Euclidean distance problem
    weights = 1.0 / np.sqrt(col_masses)
    transformed_data = row_profiles * weights

\(\chi^2\) distance in detail

Definition of \(\chi^2\) distance

  • The \(\chi^2\) distance between two row or column profiles measures how different they are using weighted difference.
  • Intuition: a small difference in a rare category is more significant than the same difference in a common category.
  • For example, consider \(\chi^2\)-distance of our workclass row profiles:
Code 
dist_mat.round(2)
workclass Federal-gov Local-gov Private Self-emp-inc Self-emp-not-inc State-gov
workclass
Federal-gov 0.00 0.03 0.24 0.52 0.35 0.17

State-gov 0.17 0.19 0.11 0.61 0.44 0.00
  • Here is the \(\chi^2\) distance matrix of marital.status column profiles:
marital.status Divorced Married-civ-spouse Married-spouse-absent Never-married Separated Widowed
marital.status
Divorced 0.00 0.27 0.16 0.22 0.13 0.15
Married-civ-spouse 0.27 0.00 0.30 0.40 0.32 0.22
Married-spouse-absent 0.16 0.30 0.00 0.15 0.10 0.25
Never-married 0.22 0.40 0.15 0.00 0.09 0.33
Separated 0.13 0.32 0.10 0.09 0.00 0.25
Widowed 0.15 0.22 0.25 0.33 0.25 0.00
  • Interpretation:
    • Row profiles: Federal-gov and Local-gov are the most similar row profiles, i.e., the martial status distribution of people working in these two workclasses are quite similar.
    • Column profiles: Separated and Divorced are the most similar column profiles, i.e., the workclass distribution of people with these two marital statuses are quite similar.

\(\chi^2\) distance in detail

  • \(\chi^2\) statistics: \[\chi^2=\sum_{i,j}\frac{(O_{ij}-E_{ij})^2}{E_{ij}}=\sum_{i,j}\frac{(Np_{\color{blue}{i}\color{red}{j}}-N\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j})^2}{N\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j}}=N\sum_{i,j}\frac{(p_{\color{blue}{i}\color{red}{j}}-\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j})^2}{\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j}}\]
  • Total inertia of row profiles: \[\color{blue}{I_X}=\sum_{i=1}^{I}\color{blue}{r_i}d^2(\color{blue}{i}, \color{blue}{\text{r}})=\sum_{i=1}^{I}\color{blue}{r_i}\sum_{j=1}^{J}\frac{1}{\color{red}{c_j}}\left(\frac{p_{\color{blue}{i}j}}{\color{blue}{r_i}} - \color{red}{c_j}\right)^2=\sum_{i,j}\frac{(p_{\color{blue}{i}\color{red}{j}}-\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j})^2}{\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j}}\]
  • Total inertia of column profiles: \[\color{red}{I_Y}=\sum_{j=1}^{J}\color{red}{c_j}d^2(\color{red}{j}, \color{red}{\text{c}})=\sum_{j=1}^{J}\color{red}{c_j}\sum_{i=1}^{I}\frac{1}{\color{blue}{r_i}}\left(\frac{p_{i\color{red}{j}}}{\color{red}{c_j}} - \color{blue}{r_i}\right)^2=\sum_{i,j}\frac{(p_{\color{blue}{i}\color{red}{j}}-\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j})^2}{\color{blue}{r_i}\color{red}{c_j}}\]
  • Therefore: \(\color{blue}{I_X}=\color{red}{I_Y}=\chi^2/N\) (total inertia of the cloud of profiles).

Geometric interpretation of \(\chi^2\) distance

  • The geometry defined by \(\chi^2\) distance is not the straight Euclidean space but distorted by the column weights.
  • Objective: find low-dimensional representation that best preserves the \(\chi^2\) distances between profiles.
  • This leads to Generalized SVD solution, which we will cover in the next section.

GSVD & Correspondence Analysis (CA)

GSVD Recap

  • Recall that the GSVD of a \(q\)-rank matrix \(A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}\) with row weights \(\color{blue}{W_r}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}\) and column weights \(\color{red}{W_c}\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times d}\) is given by: \[\underbrace{A}_{n\times d} =\underbrace{U}_{n\times q}\overbrace{\Sigma}^{q\times q}\underbrace{V^T}_{q\times d}\text{ satisfying: }U^T \underbrace{\color{blue}{W_r}}_{\text{diagonal }n\times n} U=V^T \underbrace{\color{red}{W_c}}_{\text{diagonal }d\times d} V=I_q.\]
  • The GSVD of \((A, \color{blue}{W_r}, \color{red}{W_c})\) can be computed via the SVD of the matrix: \[B = \color{blue}{W_r}^{1/2} A \color{red}{W_c}^{1/2}\]
  • If SVD gives \(B=\tilde{U}\Delta\tilde{V}^T\), with left and right singular vectors \(\tilde{U}\) and \(\tilde{V}\) respectively, thus \(A\) the left and right sigular vectors of \(A\) is given by: \[U = \color{blue}{W_r}^{-1/2} \tilde{U}, \quad V = \color{red}{W_c}^{-1/2} \tilde{V},\quad \Sigma = \Delta.\]

GSVD & Correspondence Analysis (CA)

CA via GSVD

  • Given the contingency table \(P=(p_{ij})\) of relative frequencies, with row and column marginals \(\color{blue}{\text{r}}\) and \(\color{red}{\text{c}}\), we define:
    • Row and column weights (metrics): \(\color{blue}{D_r^{-1}} = \text{diag}(\color{blue}{\text{r}})^{-1}\) & \(\color{red}{D_c^{-1}} = \text{diag}(\color{red}{\text{c}})^{-1}\).
    • Residual matrix: \(S = P - \color{blue}{\text{r}} \color{red}{\text{c}}^T\).
  • The CA of \(P\) is obtained by the GSVD of the triplet \((S, \color{blue}{D_r^{-1}}, \color{red}{D_c^{-1}})\): \[S = U \Sigma V^T \text{ satisfying: } U^T \color{blue}{D_r^{-1}} U =V^T \color{red}{D_c^{-1}} V = I.\]
  • Principal coordinates: projection of profiles onto axes, scaled by the sigular values, given by: \[F = \underbrace{\color{blue}{D_r^{-1}}}_{\text{Weight normalization}} \overbrace{U}^{\text{Rotation}}\underbrace{\Sigma}_{\text{Scale}}, \quad G = \color{red}{D_c^{-1}} V \Sigma\]

  • Near origin: State-gov & Private are close to origin meaning that their profiles are similar to the mean column profile \(\color{red}{\text{c}}\).
  • Axis 1: Separate self-employment type from government type works of the column profiles, and good vs bad/non-marriage.
  • Axis 2: Separate stability or life stage in marriage for column profile, and separation of government and non-government works.
  • Clusters: Similar profiles are clustered together, and association between different categories of row and column profiles are also grouped together.
  • Deviation from origin: indication of rare categories or difference to the mean profile.

Symmetric Biplot

This symmetric biplot summarize the connection between:

  • Similar type of profiles: similar rows or columns.
  • Association between different type (row vs column) of profiles.
  • Rare profiles/very different from mean profile.
  • Similar to common/mean profile.
  • The explained variances indicate how much each axis captures the variation of the data.
  • All \(\sigma_j\in[0,1]\) and \(\sigma_j=1\) only for perfect association meaning that there is a group of row profiles that only associate to a certain group of column profiles and vice versa.
  • Connection between principal row and column coordinates: \[\begin{align*} % Row coordinate f_{ik} as a weighted average of column coordinates g_{jk} \color{blue}{f_{ik}} &= \frac{1}{\sigma_k} \sum_{j} \left( \frac{p_{ij}}{\color{blue}{r_i}} \right) \color{red}{g_{ik}}, \qquad % Column coordinate \color{red}{g_{ik}} as a weighted average of row coordinates f_{ik} \color{red}{g_{ik}}= \frac{1}{\sigma_k} \sum_{i} \left( \frac{p_{ij}}{\color{red}{c_j}} \right) \color{blue}{f_{ik}} \end{align*}\]
