icr.formula: Independent Component Regression

In caret: Classification and Regression Training

Independent Component Regression

Description

Fit a linear regression model using independent components

Usage

## S3 method for class 'formula'
icr(formula, data, weights, ..., subset, na.action, contrasts = NULL)

## Default S3 method:
icr(x, y, ...)

## S3 method for class 'icr'
predict(object, newdata, ...)

Arguments

formula	A formula of the form class ~ x1 + x2 + ...{}
data	Data frame from which variables specified in formula are preferentially to be taken.
weights	(case) weights for each example - if missing defaults to 1.
...	arguments passed to fastICA
subset	An index vector specifying the cases to be used in the training sample. (NOTE: If given, this argument must be named.)
na.action	A function to specify the action to be taken if NAs are found. The default action is for the procedure to fail. An alternative is na.omit, which leads to rejection of cases with missing values on any required variable. (NOTE: If given, this argument must be named.)
contrasts	a list of contrasts to be used for some or all of the factors appearing as variables in the model formula.
x	matrix or data frame of x values for examples.
y	matrix or data frame of target values for examples.
object	an object of class icr as returned by icr.
newdata	matrix or data frame of test examples.

Details

This produces a model analogous to Principal Components Regression (PCR) but uses Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to produce the scores. The user must specify a value of n.comp to pass to fastICA.

The function preProcess to produce the ICA scores for the original data and for newdata.

Value

For icr, a list with elements

model	the results of lm after the ICA transformation
ica	pre-processing information
n.comp	number of ICA components
names	column names of the original data
