linear_SDA: Semi-Supervised Discriminant Analysis

In Rdimtools: Dimension Reduction and Estimation Methods

Semi-Supervised Discriminant Analysis

Description

Semi-Supervised Discriminant Analysis (SDA) is a linear dimension reduction method when label is partially missing, i.e., semi-supervised. The labeled data points are used to maximize the separability between classes while the unlabeled ones to estimate the intrinsic structure of the data. Regularization in case of rank-deficient case is also supported via an \ell_2 scheme via beta.

Usage

do.sda(X, label, ndim = 2, type = c("proportion", 0.1), alpha = 1, beta = 1)

Arguments

X	an (n\times p) matrix or data frame whose rows are observations and columns represent independent variables.
label	a length-n vector of data class labels.
ndim	an integer-valued target dimension.
type	a vector of neighborhood graph construction. Following types are supported; c("knn",k), c("enn",radius), and c("proportion",ratio). Default is c("proportion",0.1), connecting about 1/10 of nearest data points among all data points. See also aux.graphnbd for more details.
alpha	balancing parameter between model complexity and empirical loss.
beta	Tikhonov regularization parameter.

Value

a named list containing

Y

an (n\times ndim) matrix whose rows are embedded observations.

trfinfo

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

projection

a (p\times ndim) whose columns are basis for projection.

Examples

## use iris data
data(iris)
X     = as.matrix(iris[,1:4])
label = as.integer(iris$Species)

## copy a label and let 20% of elements be missing
nlabel = length(label)
nmissing = round(nlabel*0.20)
label_missing = label
label_missing[sample(1:nlabel, nmissing)]=NA

## compare true case with missing-label case
out1 = do.sda(X, label)
out2 = do.sda(X, label_missing)

## visualize
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(out1$Y, col=label, main="true projection")
plot(out2$Y, col=label, main="20% missing labels")
par(opar)
