Definition

The use of biomedical data in object classification presents several challenges that are well-suited to knowledge discovery and spatial modeling methods. In general, this problem consists of extracting useful patterns of information from large quantities of data with attributes that often have complex interactions. Biomedical data are inherently multidimensional and therefore difficult to summarize in simple terms without losing potentially useful information. A natural conflict exists between the need to simplify the data to make it more interpretable and the associated risk of sacrificing information relevant to decision support.

Transforming spatial features in biomedical data quantifies, and thereby exposes, underlying patterns for use as attributes in data mining exercises [14]. To be useful, a data transformation must faithfully represent the original spatial features. Orthogonal...
