摘要翻译：
利用人工神经网络，线性主成分分析(PCA)可以推广到非线性主成分分析。但是曲面组件的好处需要仔细控制模型的复杂性。此外，用于模型选择的标准技术，包括交叉验证和更普遍的独立测试集的使用，在应用于非线性PCA时，由于其固有的无监督特性而失败。本文提出了一种用缺失数据估计误差作为模型选择准则来验证非线性PCA模型复杂度的新方法。它的动机是只有最优复杂度的模型才能以最高的精度预测丢失值。虽然标准测试集验证通常有利于过拟合的非线性PCA模型，但所提出的模型验证方法正确地选择了最优模型复杂度。

英文摘要：
  Linear principal component analysis (PCA) can be extended to a nonlinear PCA by using artificial neural networks. But the benefit of curved components requires a careful control of the model complexity. Moreover, standard techniques for model selection, including cross-validation and more generally the use of an independent test set, fail when applied to nonlinear PCA because of its inherent unsupervised characteristics. This paper presents a new approach for validating the complexity of nonlinear PCA models by using the error in missing data estimation as a criterion for model selection. It is motivated by the idea that only the model of optimal complexity is able to predict missing values with the highest accuracy. While standard test set validation usually favours over-fitted nonlinear PCA models, the proposed model validation approach correctly selects the optimal model complexity.
