# tune.plsda: tuning hyperparameters on a plsda method
# ========================================================================================================

#' Tuning functions for PLS-DA method
#' 
#' Computes M-fold or Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation scores on a user-input
#' grid to determine optimal values for the parameters in \code{plsda}.
#'
#' 
#' This tuning function should be used to tune the parameters in the
#' \code{plsda} function (number of components and distance metric to select).
#' 
#' For a PLS-DA, M-fold or LOO cross-validation is performed with stratified
#' subsampling where all classes are represented in each fold.
#' 
#' If \code{validation = "loo"}, leave-one-out cross-validation is performed.
#' By default \code{folds} is set to the number of unique individuals.
#' 
#' The function outputs the optimal number of components that achieve the best
#' performance based on the overall error rate or BER. The assessment is
#' data-driven and similar to the process detailed in (Rohart et al., 2016),
#' where one-sided t-tests assess whether there is a gain in performance when
#' adding a component to the model. Our experience has shown that in most case,
#' the optimal number of components is the number of categories in \code{Y} -
#' 1, but it is worth tuning a few extra components to check (see our website
#' and case studies for more details).
#' 
#' For PLS-DA multilevel one-factor analysis, M-fold or LOO cross-validation
#' is performed where all repeated measurements of one sample are in the same
#' fold. Note that logratio transform and the multilevel analysis are performed
#' internally and independently on the training and test set.
#' 
#' For a PLS-DA multilevel two-factor analysis, the correlation between
#' components from the within-subject variation of X and the \code{cond} matrix
#' is computed on the whole data set. The reason why we cannot obtain a
#' cross-validation error rate as for the pls-DA one-factor analysis is
#' because of the difficulty to decompose and predict the within matrices
#' within each fold.
#' 
#' For a PLS two-factor analysis a PLS canonical mode is run, and the
#' correlation between components from the within-subject variation of X and Y
#' is computed on the whole data set.
#' 
#' If \code{validation = "Mfold"}, M-fold cross-validation is performed. How
#' many folds to generate is selected by specifying the number of folds in
#' \code{folds}.
#' 
#' If \code{auc = TRUE} and there are more than 2 categories in \code{Y}, the
#' Area Under the Curve is averaged using one-vs-all comparison. Note however
#' that the AUC criteria may not be particularly insightful as the prediction
#' threshold we use in PLS-DA differs from an AUC threshold (PLS-DA relies on
#' prediction distances for predictions, see \code{?predict.plsda} for more
#' details) and the supplemental material of the mixOmics article (Rohart et
#' al. 2017).
#' 
#' BER is appropriate in case of an unbalanced number of samples per class as
#' it calculates the average proportion of wrongly classified samples in each
#' class, weighted by the number of samples in each class. BER is less biased
#' towards majority classes during the performance assessment.
#' 
#' More details about the prediction distances in \code{?predict} and the
#' supplemental material of the mixOmics article (Rohart et al. 2017).
#' 
#' The tune.plsda() function calls older function perf() to perform this cross-validation,
#' for more details see the perf() help pages. 
#' 
#' @param X numeric matrix of predictors. \code{NA}s are allowed.
#' @param Y \code{if(method = 'spls')} numeric vector or matrix of continuous
#' responses (for multi-response models) \code{NA}s are allowed.
#' @param ncomp the number of components to include in the model.
#' @param validation character. What kind of (internal) validation to use,
#'   matching one of \code{"Mfold"} or \code{"loo"} (short for 'leave-one-out').
#'   Default is \code{"Mfold"}.
#' @param folds the folds in the Mfold cross-validation. See Details.
#' @param dist distance metric to use for \code{splsda} to estimate the
#' classification error rate, should be a subset of \code{"centroids.dist"},
#' \code{"mahalanobis.dist"} or \code{"max.dist"} (see Details).
#' @param scale Logical. If scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero
#' means and unit variances (default: TRUE)
#' @param auc if \code{TRUE} calculate the Area Under the Curve (AUC)
#' @param progressBar by default set to \code{TRUE} to output the progress bar
#' of the computation.
#' @param tol Convergence stopping value.
#' @param max.iter integer, the maximum number of iterations.
#' @param near.zero.var Logical, see the internal \code{\link{nearZeroVar}}
#' function (should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero
#' values). Default value is FALSE
#' @param nrepeat Number of times the Cross-Validation process is repeated.
#' @param logratio one of ('none','CLR'). Default to 'none'
#' @param multilevel Design matrix for multilevel analysis (for repeated
#' measurements) that indicates the repeated measures on each individual, i.e.
#' the individuals ID. See Details.
#' @param light.output if set to FALSE, the prediction/classification of each
#' sample for each of \code{test.keepX} and each comp is returned.
#' @param signif.threshold numeric between 0 and 1 indicating the significance
#' threshold required for improvement in error rate of the components. Default
#' to 0.01.
#' @param dist Distance metric. Should be a subset of "max.dist", "centroids.dist", "mahalanobis.dist" or "all". Default is "all"
#' @template arg/BPPARAM
#' @param seed set a number here if you want the function to give reproducible outputs. 
#' Not recommended during exploratory analysis. Note if RNGseed is set in 'BPPARAM', this will be overwritten by 'seed'. 
#' @return matrix of classification error rate estimation. 
#' The dimensions correspond to the components in the
#' model and to the prediction method used, respectively.
#' 
#' \item{auc}{Averaged AUC values
#' over the \code{nrepeat}}
#' 
#' \item{cor.value}{only if multilevel analysis with 2 factors: correlation
#' between latent variables.}
