A stable MCA learning algorithm

Minor component analysis (MCA) is an important statistical tool for signal processing and data analysis. Neural networks can be used to extract online minor component from input data. Compared with traditional algebraic  approaches, a neural network method has a lower computational complexity. Stability of neural networks learning algorithms is crucial to practical applications. In this paper, we propose a stable MCA neural networks learning algorithm, which has a more satisfactory numerical stability than some existing MCA algorithms. Dynamical behaviors of the proposed algorithm are analyzed via deterministic discrete time (DDT) method and the conditions are obtained to guarantee convergence. Simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results achieved.<br />
