The VIP criterion

Description

Computes the VIP criterion used to rank variable importance.

Usage

vipCriterion(pls.model, dim = 1)

Arguments

pls.model

Object with fitted PLS-model.

dim

Integer, the number of dimensions to consider.

Details

After the fitting of a PLS-model, some of the original variables will have more impact than the others on the prediction of the response. The VIP criterion is one way to quantify this, see Chong&Yun, 2005. This criterion requires a single response regression problem, which means a two-class classification problem.

A large VIP indicates the corresponding variable is important. A threshold at 1.0 is often used, variables with VIP above 1.0 are the important ones.

Value

A vector of VIP scores, one for each variable in the predictor matrix of the fitted PLS model.
