Structured weighted low rank approximation

Abstract

Abstract This paper extends the weighted low rank approximation (WLRA) approach towards linearly structured matrices. In the case of Hankel matrices an equivalent unconstrained optimization problem is derived and an algorithm for solving it is proposed. The correctness of the latter algorithm is verified on a benchmark problem. Finally the statistical accuracy and numerical efficiency of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of STLNB, a previously proposed algorithm for solving Hankel WLRA problems.
