Description
Summary:The quantile method transforms each complex object described by different histogram values to a common number of quantile vectors. This paper retraces the authors’ research, including a principal component analysis, unsupervised feature selection using hierarchical conceptual clustering, and lookup table regression model. The purpose is to show that this research is essentially based on the monotone property of quantile vectors and works cooperatively in the exploratory analysis of the given distributional data.
