In CCAGFA: Bayesian Canonical Correlation Analysis and Group Factor Analysis

Description

Variational Bayesian solution for canonical correlation analysis, inter-battery factor analysis and group factor analysis. The package contains code for learning the model and some supporting functionality for interpretation.

The Bayesian CCA model as implemented here was originally presented by Virtanen et al. (2011), but a more comprehensive treatment is found in Klami et al. (2013). The latter also explains the BIBFA model. The GFA extends CCA to multiple data sources (or groups of variables), providing interpretable linear factorizations that describe variation shared by all possible subsets of sources. It was originally presented by Virtanen et al. (2012). Later Klami et al. (2014) provide a more extensive literature review and present a novel hierarchical low-rank ARD prior for the factor loadings to better account for inter-source relationships.

We recommend that scientific publications using the code for CCA or BIBFA cite Klami et al. (2013), and publications using the code for GFA cite Virtanen et al. (2012), until Klami et al. (2014) has been published.

The package is based on the research done in the SMLB group, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT, Department of Information and Computer Science, Aalto University, http://research.ics.aalto.fi/mi/.
