Kernel entropy component analysis( KECA) is a newly developed method for data transformation and dimensionality reduction. This paper conducted a comparative study of KECA with other five dimensionality reduction methods,principal component analysis( PCA),kernel PCA( KPCA),locally linear embedding( LLE),laplacian eigenmaps( LAE) and diffusion maps( DM). Three quality assessment criteria, local continuity meta-criterion( LCMC),trustworthiness and continuity measure(T&C),and mean relative rank error( MRRE) are applied as direct performance indexes to assess those dimensionality reduction methods. Moreover,the clustering accuracy is used as an indirect performance index to evaluate the quality of the representative data gotten by those methods. The comparisons are performed on six datasets and the results are analyzed by Friedman test with the corresponding post-hoc tests.
