meantensor: Mean and variance of tensors

In tensorA: Advanced Tensor Arithmetic with Named Indices

Description

Mean and variance of tensors again tensors.

Usage

 ## S3 method for class 'tensor'
mean(x,along,...,na.rm=FALSE)
 ## S3 method for class 'tensor'
var(x,y=NULL,...,along,by=NULL,na.rm=FALSE,mark="'")

Arguments

x	(set of) dataset(s) of tensors represented by a tensor
y	a second dataset of connected tensors represented by a tensor
along	the indices indexing the datasets
...	here for generic compatibility with the compositions package
by	the indices indexing the set of datasets
na.rm	a boolean, if FALSE and missings are in the dataset a error is given. If TRUE pairwise exclusion is used.
mark	the to mark the second instance of indices in var(x,...)

Details

Let denote a the along dimension, i_1,...,i_k and j_1,...,j_l the data dimension, and b the by dimension, then the mean is given by:

M^x_{bi_1,...,i_k}=\frac1{n}∑_{a}x_{abi_1,...,i_k}

the covariance by

C_{ab i_1,...,i_kj_1,...,j_l}=\frac1{n-1}∑_{a} (x_{abi_1,...,i_k}-x_{bi_1,...,i_k})(y_{abj_1,...,j_l}-M^y_{bj_1,...,j_l})

and the variance by

V_{ab i_1,...,i_kj_1,...,j_l}=\frac1{n-1}∑_{a} (x_{abi_1,...,i_k}-M^x_{bi_1,...,i_k})(x_{abi'_1,...,i'_k}-M^x_{bi'_1,...,i'_l})

Value

mean	gives a tensor like x without the along dimensions representing the a mean over all tensors in the dataset. It is not necessary to have a by dimension since everything not in along is automatically treated parallel
var(x,...)	Gives the covariate tensor representing the covariance of x and y. The data tensor indices of x any y should be different, since otherwise duplicated names exist in the result.
var(x,...)	Gives the covariate representation of the variance of x. All data indices (i.e. all indices neither in by nor in along are duplicated. One with and one without the given mark.

Examples

 d1 <- c(a=2,b=2)
 d2 <- c("a'"=2,"b'"=2)
 # a mean tensor:
 m <- to.tensor(1:4,d1)             
 # a positive definite variance tensor:
 V <- delta.tensor(d1)+one.tensor(c(d1,d2))
 V
 # Simulate Normally distributed tensors with these moments:
 X <- (power.tensor(V,c("a","b"),c("a'","b'"),p=1/2)  %e%
      to.tensor(rnorm(1000*2*2),c(i=1000,d2))) + m
 # The mean
 mean.tensor(X,along="i")
 # Full tensorial covariance:
 var.tensor(X,along="i")
 # Variance of the slices  X[[b=1]] and X[[b=2]] :
 var.tensor(X,along="i",by="b")
 # Covariance of the slices X[[b=1]] and X[[b=2]] :
 var.tensor(X[[b=1]],X[[a=~"a'",b=2]],along="i")
