ccr12: First Squared Canonical Correlation for a multivariate linear...

In subselect: Selecting Variable Subsets

First Squared Canonical Correlation for a multivariate linear hypothesis

Description

Computes the first squared canonical correlation. The maximization of this criterion is equivalent to the maximization of the Roy first root.

Usage

ccr12.coef(mat, H, r, indices,
tolval=10*.Machine$double.eps, tolsym=1000*.Machine$double.eps)

Arguments

mat	the Variance or Total sums of squares and products matrix for the full data set.
H	the Effect description sums of squares and products matrix (defined in the same way as the mat matrix).
r	the Expected rank of the H matrix. See the Details section below.
indices	a numerical vector, matrix or 3-d array of integers giving the indices of the variables in the subset. If a matrix is specified, each row is taken to represent a different k-variable subset. If a 3-d array is given, it is assumed that the third dimension corresponds to different cardinalities.
tolval	the tolerance level to be used in checks for ill-conditioning and positive-definiteness of the 'total' and 'effects' (H) matrices. Values smaller than tolval are considered equivalent to zero.
tolsym	the tolerance level for symmetry of the covariance/correlation/total matrix and for the effects (H) matrix. If corresponding matrix entries differ by more than this value, the input matrices will be considered asymmetric and execution will be aborted. If corresponding entries are different, but by less than this value, the input matrix will be replaced by its symmetric part, i.e., input matrix A becomes (A+t(A))/2.

Details

Different kinds of statistical methodologies are considered within the framework, of a multivariate linear model:

X = A \Psi + U

where X is the (nxp) data matrix of original variables, A is a known (nxp) design matrix, \Psi an (qxp) matrix of unknown parameters and U an (nxp) matrix of residual vectors. The ccr_1^2 index is related to the traditional test statistic (the Roy first root) and measures the contribution of each subset to an Effect characterized by the violation of a linear hypothesis of the form C \Psi = 0, where C is a known cofficient matrix of rank r. The Roy first root is the first eigen value of HE^{-1}, where H is the Effect matrix and E is the Error matrix. The index ccr_1^2 is related to the Roy first root (\lambda_1) by:

ccr_1^2 =\frac{\lambda_1}{1+\lambda_1}

The fact that indices can be a matrix or 3-d array allows for the computation of the ccr_1^2 values of subsets produced by the search functions anneal, genetic, improve and anneal (whose output option $subsets are matrices or 3-d arrays), using a different criterion (see the example below).

Value

The value of the ccr_1^2 coefficient.

Examples

## 1) A Linear Discriminant Analysis example with a very small data set. 
## We considered the Iris data and three groups, 
## defined by species (setosa, versicolor and virginica).

data(iris)
irisHmat <- ldaHmat(iris[1:4],iris$Species)
ccr12.coef(irisHmat$mat,H=irisHmat$H,r=2,c(1,3))
## [1]  0.9589055

## ---------------------------------------------------------------

## 2) An example computing the value of the ccr1_2 criteria for two  
## subsets produced when the anneal function attempted to optimize
## the zeta_2 criterion (using an absurdly small number of iterations).

zetaresults<-anneal(irisHmat$mat,2,nsol=2,niter=2,criterion="zeta2",
H=irisHmat$H,r=2)
ccr12.coef(irisHmat$mat,H=irisHmat$H,r=2,zetaresults$subsets)
