tidy_irlba: Tidy a(n) irlba object masquerading as list

In broom: Convert Statistical Objects into Tidy Tibbles

Tidy a(n) irlba object masquerading as list

Description

Broom tidies a number of lists that are effectively S3 objects without a class attribute. For example, stats::optim(), svd() and interp::interp() produce consistent output, but because they do not have a class attribute, they cannot be handled by S3 dispatch.

These functions look at the elements of a list and determine if there is an appropriate tidying method to apply to the list. Those tidiers are implemented as functions of the form ⁠tidy_<function>⁠ or ⁠glance_<function>⁠ and are not exported (but they are documented!).

If no appropriate tidying method is found, they throw an error.

Usage

tidy_irlba(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A list returned from irlba::irlba().

...

Additional arguments. Not used. Needed to match generic signature only. Cautionary note: Misspelled arguments will be absorbed in ..., where they will be ignored. If the misspelled argument has a default value, the default value will be used. For example, if you pass conf.lvel = 0.9, all computation will proceed using conf.level = 0.95. Two exceptions here are: tidy() methods will warn when supplied an exponentiate argument if it will be ignored. augment() methods will warn when supplied a newdata argument if it will be ignored.

Details

A very thin wrapper around tidy_svd().

Value

A tibble::tibble with columns depending on the component of PCA being tidied.

If matrix is "u", "samples", "scores", or "x" each row in the tidied output corresponds to the original data in PCA space. The columns are:

row	ID of the original observation (i.e. rowname from original data).
PC	Integer indicating a principal component.
value	The score of the observation for that particular principal component. That is, the location of the observation in PCA space.

If matrix is "v", "rotation", "loadings" or "variables", each row in the tidied output corresponds to information about the principle components in the original space. The columns are:

row	The variable labels (colnames) of the data set on which PCA was performed.
PC	An integer vector indicating the principal component.
value	The value of the eigenvector (axis score) on the indicated principal component.

If matrix is "d", "eigenvalues" or "pcs", the columns are:

PC	An integer vector indicating the principal component.
std.dev	Standard deviation explained by this PC.
percent	Fraction of variation explained by this component (a numeric value between 0 and 1).
cumulative	Cumulative fraction of variation explained by principle components up to this component (a numeric value between 0 and 1).

Examples

library(modeldata)
data(hpc_data)

mat <- scale(as.matrix(hpc_data[, 2:5]))
s <- svd(mat)

tidy_u <- tidy(s, matrix = "u")
tidy_u

tidy_d <- tidy(s, matrix = "d")
tidy_d

tidy_v <- tidy(s, matrix = "v")
tidy_v

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

ggplot(tidy_d, aes(PC, percent)) +
  geom_point() +
  ylab("% of variance explained")

tidy_u |>
  mutate(class = hpc_data$class[row]) |>
  ggplot(aes(class, value)) +
  geom_boxplot() +
  facet_wrap(~PC, scale = "free_y")
