Takes an array of observations as an input and outputs a subset of the components having the most extreme kurtoses.
1 | selectComponents(x, first = 2, last = 2)
|
x |
Numeric array of an order at least two. It is assumed that the last dimension corresponds to the sampling units. |
first |
Number of components with maximal kurtosis to be selected. Can equal zero but the total number of components selected must be at least two. |
last |
Number of components with minimal kurtosis to be selected. Can equal zero but the total number of components selected must be at least two. |
In independent component analysis (ICA) the components having the most extreme kurtoses are often thought to be also the most informative. With this viewpoint in mind the function selectComponents
selects from x
first
components having the highest kurtosis and last
components having the lowest kurtoses and outputs them as a standard data matrix for further analysis.
Data matrix with rows corresponding to the observations and the columns correponding to the first
+ last
selected components in decreasing order with respect to kurtosis. The names of the components in the output matrix correspond to the indices of the components in the original array x
.
