Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA)

Description

Train the trainData using KFDA. Basically, we run KFDA using Gaussian kernel. Returns trained KFDA object.

Usage

kfda(trainData = data, kernel.name = "rbfdot", kpar.sigma = 0.001, threshold = 1e-05)

Arguments

trainData	an optional data frame or matrix containing the variables in the model. In particular, the last column of the data frame should contain the target value.
kernel.name	the kernel function used in training and predicting. This parameter is fixed in the rbfdot(Gaussian kernel).
kpar.sigma	hyper-parameter of selected kernel. sigma inverse kernel width for the Gaussian kernel function "rbfdot".
threshold	the value of the eigenvalue under which principal components are ignored (only valid when features = 0). (default : 1e-05).

Details

Train the trainData using KFDA. Basically, we run KFDA using Gaussian kernel. Returns trained KFDA object. Since this function performs KFDA with the appropriate combination of kpca and lda, the following values can show the result of each function.

Value

An object of class kfda.

kpca.train	An object of class "kpca". Results from kpca in package kernlab.
lda.rotation.train	The result of applying LDA, After KPCA is performed on trainData.
LDs	A dataframe of linear discriminants of LDA.
label	A vector of class label of trainData.

Note

This package is an early version and will be updated in the future.
