MINDID: The (Multipoint) Morisita Index for Intrinsic Dimension...

In jeangolay/IDmining: Intrinsic Dimension for Data Mining

Description

Estimates the intrinsic dimension of data using the Morisita estimator of intrinsic dimension.

Usage

MINDID(X, scaleQ=1:5, mMin=2, mMax=2)

Arguments

X	A N x E matrix, data.frame or data.table where N is the number of data points and E is the number of variables (or features). Each variable is rescaled to the [0,1] interval by the function.
scaleQ	A vector (at least two values). It contains the values of l^(-1) chosen by the user (by default: scaleQ = 1:5).
mMin	The minimum value of m (by default: mMin = 2).
mMax	The maximum value of m (by default: mMax = 2).

Details

1. l is the edge length of the grid cells (or quadrats). Since the variables (and consenquently the grid) are rescaled to the [0,1] interval, l is equal to 1 for a grid consisting of only one cell.

2. l^(-1) is the number of grid cells (or quadrats) along each axis of the Euclidean space in which the data points are embedded.

3. l^(-1) is equal to Q^(1/E) where Q is the number of grid cells and E is the number of variables (or features).

4. l^(-1) is directly related to delta (see References).

5. delta is the diagonal length of the grid cells.

Value

A list of two elements:

1. a data.frame containing the ln value of the m-Morisita index for each value of ln(delta) and m. The values of ln(delta) are provided with regard to the [0,1] interval.

2. a data.frame containing the values of Sm and Mm for each value of m.

Examples

sim_dat <- SwissRoll(1000)

scaleQ <- 1:15 # It starts with a grid of 1^E cell (or quadrat).
               # It ends with a grid of 15^E cells (or quadrats).
mMI_ID <- MINDID(sim_dat, scaleQ[5:15])

print(paste("The ID estimate is equal to",round(mMI_ID[[1]][1,3],2)))
