Description

Function to integrate data sets measured on the same samples (N-integration) and to combine multiple independent studies measured on the same variables or predictors (P-integration) using variants of multi-group and generalised PLS (unsupervised analysis).

Arguments

X

A list of data sets (called 'blocks') measured on the same samples. Data in the list should be arranged in samples x variables, with samples order matching in all data sets.

Y

Matrix or vector response for a multivariate regression framework. Data should be continuous variables (see mint.block.plsda for supervised classification and factor reponse)

indY

To be supplied if Y is missing, indicates the position of the matrix / vector response in the list X

study

factor indicating the membership of each sample to each of the studies being combined

ncomp

the number of components to include in the model. Default to 2.

design

numeric matrix of size (number of blocks) x (number of blocks) with only 0 or 1 values. A value of 1 (0) indicates a relationship (no relationship) between the blocks to be modelled. If Y is provided instead of indY, the design matrix is changed to include relationships to Y.

scheme

Either "horst", "factorial" or "centroid". Default = horst, see reference.

mode

character string. What type of algorithm to use, (partially) matching one of "regression", "canonical", "invariant" or "classic". See Details.

scale

boleean. If scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero means and unit variances (default: TRUE)

init

Mode of initialization use in the algorithm, either by Singular Value Decompostion of the product of each block of X with Y ("svd") or each block independently ("svd.single"). Default = svd.single.

tol

Convergence stopping value.

max.iter

integer, the maximum number of iterations.

near.zero.var

boolean, see the internal nearZeroVar function (should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero values). Setting this argument to FALSE (when appropriate) will speed up the computations. Default value is FALSE

all.outputs

boolean. Computation can be faster when some specific (and non-essential) outputs are not calculated. Default = TRUE.

Details

The function fits multi-group generalised PLS models with a specified number of ncomp components. An outcome needs to be provided, either by Y or by its position indY in the list of blocks X.

Multi (continuous)response are supported. X and Y can contain missing values. Missing values are handled by being disregarded during the cross product computations in the algorithm block.pls without having to delete rows with missing data. Alternatively, missing data can be imputed prior using the nipals function.

The type of algorithm to use is specified with the mode argument. Four PLS algorithms are available: PLS regression ("regression"), PLS canonical analysis ("canonical"), redundancy analysis ("invariant") and the classical PLS algorithm ("classic") (see References and more details in ?pls).

Value

mint.block.pls returns an object of class "mint.pls", "block.pls", a list that contains the following components:

X

the centered and standardized original predictor matrix.

Y

the centered and standardized original response vector or matrix.

ncomp

the number of components included in the model for each block.

mode

the algorithm used to fit the model.

mat.c

matrix of coefficients from the regression of X / residual matrices X on the X-variates, to be used internally by predict.

variates

list containing the X and Y variates.

loadings

list containing the estimated loadings for the variates.

names

list containing the names to be used for individuals and variables.

nzv

list containing the zero- or near-zero predictors information.

tol

the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm, used for subsequent S3 methods

max.iter

the maximum number of iterations, used for subsequent S3 methods

iter

Number of iterations of the algorthm for each component
