In plsVarSel: Variable Selection in Partial Least Squares

Backward variable elimination PLS (BVE-PLS)

Description

A backward variable elimination procedure for elimination of non informative variables.

Usage

bve_pls(y, X, ncomp = 10, ratio = 0.75, VIP.threshold = 1)

Arguments

y	vector of response values (numeric or factor).
X	numeric predictor matrix.
ncomp	integer number of components (default = 10).
ratio	the proportion of the samples to use for calibration (default = 0.75).
VIP.threshold	thresholding to remove non-important variables (default = 1).

Details

Variables are first sorted with respect to some importancemeasure, and usually one of the filter measures described above are used. Secondly, a threshold is used to eliminate a subset of the least informative variables. Then a model is fitted again to the remaining variables and performance is measured. The procedure is repeated until maximum model performance is achieved.

Value

Returns a vector of variable numbers corresponding to the model having lowest prediction error.
