Laplacian Eigenmaps

Description

do.lapeig performs Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) to discover low-dimensional manifold embedded in high-dimensional data space using graph laplacians. This is a classic algorithm employing spectral graph theory.

Usage

do.lapeig(X, ndim = 2, ...)

Arguments

X	an (n\times p) matrix or data frame whose rows are observations and columns represent independent variables.
ndim	an integer-valued target dimension.
...	extra parameters including kernelscale kernel scale parameter. Default value is 1.0. preprocess an additional option for preprocessing the data. Default is "null". See also aux.preprocess for more details. symmetric one of "intersect", "union" or "asymmetric" is supported. Default is "union". See also aux.graphnbd for more details. 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. weighted a logical; TRUE for weighted graph laplacian and FALSE for combinatorial laplacian where connectivity is represented as 1 or 0 only.

Value

a named list containing

Y

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

eigvals

a vector of eigenvalues for laplacian matrix.

trfinfo

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

algorithm

name of the algorithm.

Examples

## use iris data
data(iris)
set.seed(100)
subid = sample(1:150,50)
X     = as.matrix(iris[subid,1:4])
lab   = as.factor(iris[subid,5])

## try different levels of connectivity
out1 <- do.lapeig(X, type=c("proportion",0.5), weighted=FALSE)
out2 <- do.lapeig(X, type=c("proportion",0.10), weighted=FALSE)
out3 <- do.lapeig(X, type=c("proportion",0.25), weighted=FALSE)

## Visualize
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(1,3))
plot(out1$Y, pch=19, col=lab, main="5% connected")
plot(out2$Y, pch=19, col=lab, main="10% connected")
plot(out3$Y, pch=19, col=lab, main="25% connected")
par(opar)
