vip: Variable Importance in the Projection (VIP)

Variable Importance in the Projection (VIP)

Description

The function vip computes the influence on the Y-responses of every predictor X in the model.

Usage

vip(object)

Arguments

object

object of class inheriting from "pls", "plsda", "spls" or "splsda".

Details

Variable importance in projection (VIP) coefficients reflect the relative importance of each X variable for each X variate in the prediction model. VIP coefficients thus represent the importance of each X variable in fitting both the X- and Y-variates, since the Y-variates are predicted from the X-variates.

VIP allows to classify the X-variables according to their explanatory power of Y. Predictors with large VIP, larger than 1, are the most relevant for explaining Y.

Value

vip produces a matrix of VIP coefficients for each X variable (rows) on each variate component (columns).
