Imbrie & Kipp Factor Analysis

Description

Functions for reconstructing (predicting) environmental values from biological assemblages using Imbrie & Kipp Factor Analysis (IKFA), as used in palaeoceanography.

Usage

IKFA(y, x, nFact = 5, IsPoly = FALSE, IsRot = TRUE,

Arguments

y	a data frame or matrix of biological abundance data.
x, object	a vector of environmental values to be modelled or an object of class wa.
newdata	new biological data to be predicted.
nFact	number of factor to extract.
IsRot	logical to rotate factors.
ccoef	vector of factor numbers to include in the predictions.
IsPoly	logical to include quadratic of the factors as predictors in the regression.
check.data	logical to perform simple checks on the input data.
match.data	logical indicate the function will match two species datasets by their column names. You should only set this to FALSE if you are sure the column names match exactly.
lean	logical to exclude some output from the resulting models (used when cross-validating to speed calculations).
full	logical to show head and tail of output in summaries.
resid	logical to plot residuals instead of fitted values.
xval	logical to plot cross-validation estimates.
xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim	additional graphical arguments to plot.wa.
add.ref	add 1:1 line on plot.
add.smooth	add loess smooth to plot.
cv.method	cross-validation method, either "loo", "lgo", "bootstrap" or "h-block".
verbose	logical to show feedback during cross-validation.
nboot	number of bootstrap samples.
ngroups	number of groups in leave-group-out cross-validation, or a vector contain leave-out group menbership.
h.cutoff	cutoff for h-block cross-validation. Only training samples greater than h.cutoff from each test sample will be used.
h.dist	distance matrix for use in h-block cross-validation. Usually a matrix of geographical distances between samples.
sse	logical indicating that sample specific errors should be calculated.
rand.test	logical to perform a randomisation t-test to test significance of cross validated factors.
n.perm	number of permutations for randomisation t-test.
cv	logical to indicate model or cross-validation residuals.
...	additional arguments.

Details

Function IKFA performs Imbrie and Kipp Factor Analysis, a form of Principal Components Regrssion (Imbrie & Kipp 1971).

Function predict predicts values of the environemntal variable for newdata or returns the fitted (predicted) values from the original modern dataset if newdata is NULL. Variables are matched between training and newdata by column name (if match.data is TRUE). Use compare.datasets to assess conformity of two species datasets and identify possible no-analogue samples.

IKFA has methods fitted and rediduals that return the fitted values (estimates) and residuals for the training set, performance, which returns summary performance statistics (see below), coef which returns the species coefficients, and print and summary to summarise the output. IKFA also has a plot method that produces scatter plots of predicted vs observed measurements for the training set.

Function rand.t.test performs a randomisation t-test to test the significance of the cross-validated components after van der Voet (1994).

Function screeplot displays the RMSE of prediction for the training set as a function of the number of factors and is useful for estimating the optimal number for use in prediction. By default screeplot will also carry out a randomisation t-test and add a line to scree plot indicating percentage change in RMSE with each component annotate with the p-value from the randomisation test.

Value

Function IKFA returns an object of class IKFA with the following named elements:

coefficients	species coefficients (the updated "optima").
fitted.values	fitted values for the training set.
call	original function call.
x	environmental variable used in the model.
standx, meanT sdx	additional information returned for a PLSif model.

Function crossval also returns an object of class IKFA and adds the following named elements:

predicted	predicted values of each training set sample under cross-validation.
residuals.cv	prediction residuals.

If function predict is called with newdata=NULL it returns the fitted values of the original model, otherwise it returns a list with the following named elements:

fit	predicted values for newdata.

If sample specific errors were requested the list will also include:

fit.boot	mean of the bootstrap estimates of newdata.
v1	standard error of the bootstrap estimates for each new sample.
v2	root mean squared error for the training set samples, across all bootstram samples.
SEP	standard error of prediction, calculated as the square root of v1^2 + v2^2.

Function performance returns a matrix of performance statistics for the IKFA model. See performance, for a description of the summary.

Function rand.t.test returns a matrix of performance statistics together with columns indicating the p-value and percentage change in RMSE with each higher component (see van der Veot (1994) for details).

Examples

data(IK)
spec <- IK$spec
SumSST <- IK$env$SumSST
core <- IK$core

fit <- IKFA(spec, SumSST)
fit
# cross-validate model
fit.cv <- crossval(fit, cv.method="lgo")
# How many components to use?
screeplot(fit.cv)

#predict the core
pred <- predict(fit, core, npls=2)

#plot predictions - depths are in rownames
depth <- as.numeric(rownames(core))
plot(depth, pred$fit[, 2], type="b")

# fit using only factors 1, 2, 4, & 5
# and using polynomial terms
# as Imbrie & Kipp (1971)
fit2 <- IKFA(spec, SumSST, ccoef=c(1, 2, 4, 5), IsPoly=TRUE)
fit2.cv <- crossval(fit2, cv.method="lgo")
screeplot(fit2.cv)

## Not run: 
# predictions with sample specific errors
# takes approximately 1 minute to run
pred <- predict(fit, core, sse=TRUE, nboot=1000)
pred
