T1 generates a prediction expression for the two-sided Taguchi (T1) method. In general_T, the data are normalized by subtracting the mean and without scaling based on unit_space_data. The sample data should be divided into 2 datasets in advance. One is for the unit space and the other is for the signal space.

1 2	T1(unit_space_data, signal_space_data, subtracts_V_e = TRUE, includes_transformed_data = FALSE)

`unit_space_data`	Matrix with n rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns (variables). The 1 ~ p th columns are independent variables and the (p + 1) th column is a dependent variable. Underlying data to obtain a representative point for the normalization of the `signal_space_data`. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.
`signal_space_data`	Matrix with m rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns (variables). The 1 ~ p th columns are independent variables and the (p + 1) th column is a dependent variable. Underlying data to generate a prediction expression. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.
`subtracts_V_e`	If `TRUE`, then the error variance is subtracted in the numerator when calculating `eta_hat`.
`includes_transformed_data`	If `TRUE`, then the transformed data are included in a return object.

A list containing the following components is returned.

`beta_hat`	Vector with length q. Estimated proportionality constants between each independent variable and the dependent variable.
`subtracts_V_e`	Logical. If `TRUE`, then `eta_hat` was calculated without subtracting the error variance in the numerator.
`eta_hat`	Vector with length q. Estimated squared signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) coresponding to `beta_hat`.
`M_hat`	Vector with length n. The estimated values of the dependent variable after the data transformation for `signal_space_data`.
`overall_prediction_eta`	Numeric. The overall squared signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).
`transforms_independent_data`	Data transformation function generated from `generates_transform_functions` based on the `unit_space_data`. The function for independent variables takes independent variable data (a matrix of p columns) as an (only) argument and returns the transformed independent variable data.
`transforms_dependent_data`	Data transformation function generated from `generates_transform_functions` based on the `unit_space_data`. The function for a dependent variable takes dependent variable data (a vector) as an (only) argument and returns the transformed dependent variable data.
`inverses_dependent_data`	Data transformation function generated from `generates_transform_functions` based on the `unit_space_data`. The function of the takes the transformed dependent variable data (a vector) as an (only) argument and returns the dependent variable data inversed from the transformed dependent variable data.
`m`	The number of samples for `signal_space_data`.
`q`	The number of independent variables after the data transformation. q equals p.
`X`	If `includes_transformed_data` is `TRUE`, then the independent variable data after the data transformation for the `signal_space_data` are included.
`M`	If `includes_transformed_data` is `TRUE`, then the (true) value of the dependent variable after the data transformation for the `signal_space_data` are included.
