Description

This function carries out the canonical correlation analysis between a scalar variable and a list of mixed scalar and functional variables. There are four choices of the returned values and three representation methods of the functional variables.

Usage

2
fccaXXcv(xL1,xL2,method=c('basis','gq','raw'),centre = TRUE,tol=1e-7,
      Control1=list(),Control2=list(),alpha=10^seq(-6,1,len=10))

Arguments

xL1

The mixed scalar and functional variables. For any number and any type of variables, xL1 should be a list. Each item of the list should correspond to one variable.

xL2

Same as xL1.

method

The representative methods for the functional coefficients. The method could be one of the 'basis', 'gq' and 'raw' for basis function expression, Gaussian quadrature and representative data points, respectively.

centre

Logic argument. Default is TRUE, which means the variables do need to be centred.

tol

The threshold to decide whether the correlation is to small to be non-zero.

Control1

List of elements that controls the details of the functional coefficients for xL1. See details for more information. See the argument control in function fccaGen for details.

Control2

Similar to Control1.

alpha

Candidate tuning parameters for the smoothness of the functional coefficients.

Details

Note that the smoothing parameters for both groups of variables are assumed to be the same. This is due to high computational cost of cross validation. See the example in fccaXX.

Value

cor

A vector of the first canonical correlation. Each element of the vector is corresponding to one of the candidate tuning parameters.

alpha

The corresponding tuning parameters.
