Arguments

X

numeric matrix of predictors combining multiple independent studies on the same set of predictors. NAs are allowed.

Y

A factor or a class vector indicating the discrete outcome of each sample.

ncomp

Number of components to include in the model (see Details). Default to 2

mode

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

study

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

keepX

numeric vector indicating the number of variables to select in X on each component. By default all variables are kept in the model.

scale

boleean. If scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero means and unit variances. Default = TRUE.

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). Default = FALSE.

all.outputs

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

Details

mint.splsda function fits a vertical sparse PLS-DA models with ncomp components in which several independent studies measured on the same variables are integrated. The aim is to classify the discrete outcome Y and select variables that explain the outcome. The study factor indicates the membership of each sample in each study. We advise to only combine studies with more than 3 samples as the function performs internal scaling per study, and where all outcome categories are represented.

X can contain missing values. Missing values are handled by being disregarded during the cross product computations in the algorithm mint.splsda 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).

Variable selection is performed on each component for X via input parameter keepX.

Useful graphical outputs are available, e.g. plotIndiv, plotLoadings, plotVar.

Value

mint.splsda returns an object of class "mint.splsda", "splsda", 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.

ind.mat

the centered and standardized original response vector or matrix.

ncomp

the number of components included in the model.

study

The study grouping factor

mode

the algorithm used to fit the model.

keepX

Number of variables used to build each component of X

variates

list containing the variates of X - global variates.

loadings

list containing the estimated loadings for the variates - global loadings.

variates.partial

list containing the variates of X relative to each study - partial variates.

loadings.partial

list containing the estimated loadings for the partial variates - partial loadings.

names

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

nzv

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

iter

Number of iterations of the algorthm for each component

explained_variance

Percentage of explained variance for each component and each study (note that contrary to PCA, this amount may not decrease as the aim of the method is not to maximise the variance, but the covariance between X and the dummy matrix Y).
