Covariance and PCA for Categorical Variables
Covariances from categorical variables are defined using a regular simplex expression for categories. The method follows the variance definition by Gini, and it gives the covariance as a solution of simultaneous equations. The calculated results give reasonable values for test data. A method of principal component analysis (RS-PCA) is also proposed using regular simplex expressions, which allows easy interpretation of the principal components. The proposed methods apply to variable selection problem of categorical data USCensus1990 data. The proposed methods give appropriate criterion for the variable selection problem of categorical

CatCMA with Margin: Stochastic Optimization for Continuous, Integer, and Categorical Variables
This study focuses on mixed-variable black-box optimization (MV-BBO), addressing continuous, integer, and categorical variables. Many real-world MV-BBO problems involve dependencies among these different types of variabl…
