superpc.train: Prediction by supervised principal components

In superpc: Supervised principal components

Description

Does prediction of a quantitative regression or survival outcome, by the supervised principal components method.

Usage

superpc.train(data, type = c("survival", "regression"), s0.perc=NULL)

Arguments

data	Data object with components x- p by n matrix of features, one observation per column; y- n-vector of outcome measurements; censoring.status- n-vector of censoring censoring.status (1= died or event occurred, 0=survived, or event was censored), needed for a censored survival outcome
type	Problem type: "survival" for censored survival outcome, or "regression" for simple quantitative outcome
s0.perc	Factor for denominator of score statistic, between 0 and 1: the percentile of standard deviation values added to the denominator. Default is 0.5 (the median)

Details

Compute wald scores for each feature (gene), for later use in superpc.predict and superpc.cv

Value

gene.scores=gene.scores, type=type, call = this.call

feature.scores	Score for each feature (gene)
type	problem type
call	calling sequence

Examples

#generate some example data
set.seed(332)
x<-matrix(rnorm(1000*40),ncol=40)
y<-10+svd(x[1:60,])$v[,1]+ .1*rnorm(40)
censoring.status<- sample(c(rep(1,30),rep(0,10)))

featurenames <- paste("feature",as.character(1:1000),sep="")
data<-list(x=x,y=y, censoring.status=censoring.status, featurenames=featurenames)


a<- superpc.train(data, type="survival")
