residual.EM: Calculate a residual end-member loading.

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

Calculate a residual end-member loading.

Description

This function calculates an optional residual end-member loading. It uses the modelled end-member loadings as input and evaluates the root of 1 minus the sum of all squared loadings. The residual end-member can be used to analyse the remaining variance, e.g. if not all (robust) EMs are included (cf. Dietze et al., 2012). Negative values are set to zero.

Usage

residual.EM(Vqn)

Arguments

Vqn	Numeric matrix, m unscaled robust end-member loadings.

Value

Numeric vector, residual end-member loading.

Examples

## load example data
data(example_X)
data(example_EMrob)

## define mean robust end-member loadings
Vqn <- EMMA(X = X, q = 2, plot = TRUE)$loadings

## perform residual end-member loading calculation
Vqn.res <- residual.EM(Vqn)

## model EMMA with the residual end-member
E_res <- EMMA(X = X, 
              q = 3, 
              Vqn = rbind(Vqn, Vqn.res), 
              plot = TRUE)
