rgccak: Internal function for computing the RGCCA parameters (RGCCA...

In RGCCA: Regularized and Sparse Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis for Multiblock Data

Description

The function rgccak() is called by rgcca() and does not have to be used by the user. The function rgccak() computes the RGCCA block components, outer weight vectors, etc., for each block and each dimension. Depending on the dimensionality of each block X_j , j = 1, ..., J, the primal (when n > p_j) or the dual (when n < p_j) algorithm is used (see Tenenhaus et al. 2015)

Usage

rgccak(A, C, tau = "optimal", scheme = "centroid", scale = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE, init = "svd", bias = TRUE, tol = 1e-08)

Arguments

A	A list that contains the J blocks of variables. Either the blocks (X_1, X_2, ..., X_J) or the residual matrices (X_{h1}, X_{h2}, ..., X_{hJ}).
C	A design matrix that describes the relationships between blocks. (Default: complete design).
tau	A 1 * J vector that contains the values of the shrinkage parameters τ_j, j=1, ..., J. (Default: τ_j = 1, j=1, ..., J). If tau = "optimal" the shrinkage intensity paramaters are estimated using the Schafer and Strimmer (2005) analytical formula.
scheme	The value is "horst", "factorial", "centroid" or any diffentiable convex scheme function g designed by the user (default: "centroid").
scale	if scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero means and unit variances (default: TRUE).
verbose	Will report progress while computing if verbose = TRUE (default: TRUE).
init	The mode of initialization to use in the RGCCA algorithm. The alternatives are either by Singular Value Decompostion or random (default : "svd").
bias	A logical value for either a biaised or unbiaised estimator of the var/cov.
tol	Stopping value for convergence.

Value

Y	A n * J matrix of RGCCA outer components
Z	A n * J matrix of RGCCA inner components
a	A list of outer weight vectors
crit	The values of the objective function to be optimized in each iteration of the iterative procedure.
AVE	Indicators of model quality based on the Average Variance Explained (AVE): AVE(for one block), AVE(outer model), AVE(inner model).
C	A design matrix that describes the relationships between blocks (user specified).
tau	1 * J vector containing the value for the tau penalties applied to each of the J blocks of data (user specified)
scheme	The scheme chosen by the user (user specified).
