In plsdof: Degrees of Freedom and Statistical Inference for Partial Least Squares Regression

Comparison of Partial Least Squares Regression, Principal Components Regression and Ridge Regression.

Description

This function computes the test error over several runs for (a) PLS, (b) PCR (c) Ridge Regression and (d) the null model, that is the mean of y. In the first three cases, the optimal model is selected via cross-validation.

Usage

benchmark.regression(
  X,
  y,
  m = ncol(X),
  R = 20,
  ratio = 0.8,
  verbose = TRUE,
  k = 10,
  nsamples = nrow(X),
  use.kernel = FALSE,
  supervised = FALSE
)

Arguments

X	matrix of predictor observations.
y	vector of response observations. The length of y is the same as the number of rows of X.
m	maximal number of components for PLS. Default is m=ncol(X).
R	number of runs. Default is 20.
ratio	ratio no of training examples/(no of training examples + no of test examples). Default is 0.8
verbose	If TRUE, the functions plots the progress of the function. Default is TRUE.
k	number of cross-validation splits. Default is 10.
nsamples	number of data points. Default is nrow(X).
use.kernel	Use kernel representation for PLS? Default is use.kernel=FALSE.
supervised	Should the principal components be sorted by decreasing squared correlation to the response? Default is FALSE.

Details

The function computes the test error, the cross-validation-optimal model parameters, their corresponding Degrees of Freedom, and the sum-of-squared-residuals (SSR) for PLS and PCR.

Value

MSE	data frame of size R x 4. It contains the test error for the four different methods for each of the R runs.
M	data frame of size R x 4. It contains the optimal model parameters for the four different methods for each of the R runs.
DoF	data frame of size R x 4. It contains the Degrees of Freedom (corresponding to M) for the four different methods for each of the R runs.
res.pls	matrix of size R x (ncol(X+1)). It contains the SSR for PLS for each of the R runs.
res.pcr	matrix of size R x (ncol(X+1)). It contains the SSR for PCR for each of the R runs.
DoF.all	matrix of size R x (ncol(X+1)). It contains the Degrees of Freedom for PLS for all components for each of the R runs.
