estimNC: Estimate the Number of Components for Data Imputation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References

Description

estimNC estimates the number of MFA components for data imputation. This function is called internally by MIMFA and is not usually called directly by a user.

Usage

1
estimNC(X, minNC=0, maxNC)

Arguments

X

a numeric matrix.

minNC

minimum number of components to consider, by default 0.

maxNC

maximum number of components to test.

Details

Partially borrowed from the estim_npc function in the FactoMineR package, estimNC estimates the number of MFA components for data imputation using the generalized cross-validation approximation method.

Value

Return the number of MFA components to use in data imputation.
