check.data: Check correctness and consistency of input data

In EMMAgeo: End-Member Modelling of Grain-Size Data

Check correctness and consistency of input data

Description

The input data matrix (X), number of end-members (q), weight transformation limits (l) and constant sum scaling parameter (c) are checked. This includes checking for absence of missing values, columns containing only zero-values and for numeric data type of all variables. A further check tests if l is below the maximum possible value, preventing numerical instability prior to factor rotation.

Usage

check.data(X, q, l, c, ...)

Arguments

X	Numeric matrix, input data set with m samples (rows) and n variables (columns).
q	Numeric scalar, number of end-members to be modelled.
l	Numeric scalar or vector, weight transformation limit, i.e. quantile.
c	Numeric scalar, constant sum scaling parameter, e.g. 1, 100, 1000.
...	Further arguments passed to the function.

Value

Character vector, verbose test results.
