Exploratory Projection Pursuit

“Projection Pursuit” (PP) stands for a class of exploratory projection techniques. This class contains methods designed for analyzing high dimensional data using low-dimensional projections. The main idea is to describe “interesting” projections by maximizing an objective function or projection pursuit index.
