Principal Components Analysis

Description

Performs a principal components analysis on the given data matrix that can contain missing values. If data are complete 'pca' uses Singular Value Decomposition, if there are some missing values, it uses the NIPALS algorithm.

Usage

pca(
  X,
  ncomp = 2,
  center = TRUE,
  scale = FALSE,
  max.iter = 500,
  tol = 1e-09,
  logratio = c("none", "CLR", "ILR"),
  ilr.offset = 0.001,
  V = NULL,
  multilevel = NULL,
  verbose.call = FALSE
)

Arguments

`X`	a numeric matrix (or data frame) which provides the data for the principal components analysis. It can contain missing values in which case `center = TRUE` is used as required by the `nipals` function.
`ncomp`	Integer, if data is complete `ncomp` decides the number of components and associated eigenvalues to display from the `pcasvd` algorithm and if the data has missing values, `ncomp` gives the number of components to keep to perform the reconstitution of the data using the NIPALS algorithm. If `NULL`, function sets `ncomp = min(nrow(X), ncol(X))`
`center`	(Default=TRUE) Logical, whether the variables should be shifted to be zero centered. Only set to FALSE if data have already been centered. Alternatively, a vector of length equal the number of columns of `X` can be supplied. The value is passed to `scale`. If the data contain missing values, columns should be centered for reliable results.
`scale`	(Default=FALSE) Logical indicating whether the variables should be scaled to have unit variance before the analysis takes place. The default is `FALSE` for consistency with `prcomp` function, but in general scaling is advisable. Alternatively, a vector of length equal the number of columns of `X` can be supplied. The value is passed to `scale`.
`max.iter`	Integer, the maximum number of iterations in the NIPALS algorithm.
`tol`	Positive real, the tolerance used in the NIPALS algorithm.
`logratio`	(Default='none') one of ('none','CLR','ILR'). Specifies the log ratio transformation to deal with compositional values that may arise from specific normalisation in sequencing data. Default to 'none'
`ilr.offset`	(Default=0.001) When logratio is set to 'ILR', an offset must be input to avoid infinite value after the logratio transform.
`V`	Matrix used in the logratio transformation if provided.
`multilevel`	sample information for multilevel decomposition for repeated measurements.
`verbose.call`	Logical (Default=FALSE), if set to TRUE then the `$call` component of the returned object will contain the variable values for all parameters. Note that this may cause large memory usage.

Details

The calculation is done either by a singular value decomposition of the (possibly centered and scaled) data matrix, if the data is complete or by using the NIPALS algorithm if there is data missing. Unlike princomp, the print method for these objects prints the results in a nice format and the plot method produces a bar plot of the percentage of variance explained by the principal components (PCs).

When using NIPALS (missing values), we make the assumption that the first (min(ncol(X), nrow(X)) principal components will account for 100 % of the explained variance.

Note that scale = TRUE will throw an error if there are constant variables in the data, in which case it's best to filter these variables in advance.

According to Filzmoser et al., a ILR log ratio transformation is more appropriate for PCA with compositional data. Both CLR and ILR are valid.

Logratio transform and multilevel analysis are performed sequentially as internal pre-processing step, through logratio.transfo and withinVariation respectively.

Logratio can only be applied if the data do not contain any 0 value (for count data, we thus advise the normalise raw data with a 1 offset). For ILR transformation and additional offset might be needed.

Value

pca returns a list with class "pca" and "prcomp" containing the following components:

`call`	if `verbose.call = FALSE`, then just the function call is returned. If `verbose.call = TRUE` then all the inputted values are accessable via this component
`X`	The input data matrix, possibly scaled and centered.
`ncomp`	The number of principal components used.
`center`	The centering used.
`scale`	The scaling used.
`names`	List of row and column names of data.
`sdev`	The eigenvalues of the covariance/correlation matrix, though the calculation is actually done with the singular values of the data matrix or by using NIPALS.
`loadings`	A length one list of matrix of variable loadings for X (i.e., a matrix whose columns contain the eigenvectors).
`variates`	Matrix containing the coordinate values corresponding to the projection of the samples in the space spanned by the principal components. These are the dimension-reduced representation of observations/samples.
`var.tot`	Total variance in the data.
`prop_expl_var`	Proportion of variance explained per component after setting possible missing values in the data to zero (note that contrary to PCA, this amount may not decrease as the aim of the method is not to maximise the variance, but the covariance between X and the dummy matrix Y).
`cum.var`	The cumulative explained variance for components.
`Xw`	If multilevel, the data matrix with within-group-variation removed.
`design`	If multilevel, the provided design.
