Partial Least Squares

Description

Given two data sets, Partial Least Squares (PLS) aims at maximizing cross-covariance of latent variables for each data matrix, therefore it can be considered as supervised methods. As we have two input matrices, do.pls generates two sets of outputs. Though it is widely used for regression problem, we used it in dimension reduction setting. For algorithm aspects, we used recursive gram-schmidt orthogonalization in conjunction with extracting projection vectors under eigen-decomposition formulation, as the problem dimension matters only up to original dimensionality. For more details, see Wikipedia entry on PLS.

Usage

do.pls(data1, data2, ndim = 2)

Arguments

data1	an (n\times N) data matrix whose rows are observations
data2	an (n\times M) data matrix whose rows are observations
ndim	an integer-valued target dimension.

Value

a named list containing

Y1

an (n\times ndim) matrix of projected observations from data1.

Y2

an (n\times ndim) matrix of projected observations from data2.

projection1

an (N\times ndim) whose columns are loadings for data1.

projection2

an (M\times ndim) whose columns are loadings for data2.

trfinfo1

a list containing information for out-of-sample prediction for data1.

trfinfo2

a list containing information for out-of-sample prediction for data2.

eigvals

a vector of eigenvalues for iterative decomposition.

Examples

## generate 2 normal data matrices
mat1 = matrix(rnorm(100*12),nrow=100)+10 # 12-dim normal
mat2 = matrix(rnorm(100*6), nrow=100)-10 # 6-dim normal

## project onto 2 dimensional space for each data
output = do.pls(mat1, mat2, ndim=2)

## visualize
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(output$Y1, main="proj(mat1)")
plot(output$Y2, main="proj(mat2)")
par(opar)
