bdsvd.ht: Hyperparameter Tuning for BD-SVD

In bdsvd: Block Structure Detection Using Singular Vectors

Hyperparameter Tuning for BD-SVD

Description

Finds the number of non-zero elements of the sparse loading according to the high-dimensional Bayesian information criterion (HBIC).

Usage

bdsvd.ht(X, dof.lim, standardize = TRUE, anp = "2", max.iter)

Arguments

X	Data matrix of dimension n x p with possibly p >> n.
dof.lim	Interval limits for the number of non-zero components in the sparse loading (degrees of freedom). If S denotes the support of v, then the cardinality of the support, |S|, corresponds to the degrees of freedom. Default is dof.lim <- c(0, p-1) which is highly recommended to check for all levels of sparsity.
standardize	Standardize the data to have unit variance. Default is TRUE.
anp	Which regularization function should be used for the HBIC. anp = "1" implements a_{np} = 1 which corresponds to the BIC, anp = "2" implements a_{np} = 1/2 log(np) which corresponds to the regularization used by Bauer (2024), and anp = "3" implements a_{np} = log(log(np)) which corresponds to the regularization used by Wang et al. (2009) and Wang et al. (2013).
max.iter	How many iterations should be performed for computing the sparse loading. Default is 200.

Details

The sparse loadings are computed using the method by Shen & Huang (2008), implemented in the irlba package. The computation of the HBIC is outlined in Bauer (2024).

Value

dof	The optimal number of nonzero components (degrees of freedom) according to the HBIC.
BIC	The HBIC for the different numbers of nonzero components.
