nmfModel
is a S4 generic function which provides a convenient way to
build NMF models.
It implements a unified interface for creating NMF
objects from any
NMF models, which is designed to resolve potential dimensions inconsistencies.
nmfModels
lists all available NMF models currently defined that can be
used to create NMF objects, i.e. – more or less – all S4 classes that
inherit from class NMF
.

All nmfModel
methods return an object that inherits from class NMF
,
that is suitable for seeding NMF algorithms via arguments rank
or
seed
of the nmf
method, in which case the factorisation
rank is implicitly set by the number of basis components in the seeding
model (see nmf
).
For convenience, shortcut methods and internal conversions for working on
data.frame
objects directly are implemented.
However, note that conversion of a data.frame
into a matrix
object may take some non-negligible time, for large datasets.
If using this method or other NMF-related methods several times, consider
converting your data data.frame
object into a matrix once for good,
when first loaded.
an object that inherits from class NMF
.
a list
The main factory engine of NMF models is implemented by the method with
signature numeric, numeric
.
Other factory methods provide convenient ways of creating NMF models from e.g. a
given target matrix or known basis/coef matrices (see section Other Factory Methods).
This method creates an object of class model
, using the extra
arguments in ...
to initialise slots that are specific to the given model.
All NMF models implement get/set methods to access the matrix factors
(see basis
), which are called to initialise them from arguments
W
and H
.
These argument names derive from the definition of all built-in models that
inherit derive from class NMFstd
, which has two slots,
W and H, to hold the two factors – following the notations used
in Lee and Seung (1999).
If argument target
is missing, the method creates a standard NMF
model of dimension 0xrank
x0.
That is that the basis and mixture coefficient matrices, W and H,
have dimension 0xrank
and rank
x0 respectively.
If target dimensions are also provided in argument target
as a
2-length vector, then the method creates an NMF
object compatible to
fit a target matrix of dimension target[1]
xtarget[2]
.
That is that the basis and mixture coefficient matrices, W and H,
have dimension target[1]
xrank
and rank
xtarget[2]
respectively.
The target dimensions can also be specified using both arguments target
and ncol
to define the number of rows and the number of columns of the
target matrix respectively.
If no other argument is provided, these matrices are filled with NAs.
If arguments W
and/or H
are provided, the method creates a NMF
model where the basis and mixture coefficient matrices, W and H,
are initialised using the values of W
and/or H
.
The dimensions given by target
, W
and H
, must be compatible.
However if force.dim=TRUE
, the method will reduce the dimensions to the achieve
dimension compatibility whenever possible.
When W
and H
are both provided, the NMF
object created is
suitable to seed a NMF algorithm in a call to the nmf
method.
Note that in this case the factorisation rank is implicitly set by the number
of basis components in the seed.
nmfModel(rank = numeric,target = numeric)
: Main factory method for NMF models
This method is the workhorse method that is eventually called by all other methods. See section Main factory method for more details.
nmfModel(rank = numeric,target = missing)
: Creates an empty NMF model of a given rank.
This call is equivalent to nmfModel(rank, 0L, ...)
, which
creates empty NMF
object with a basis and mixture coefficient matrix
of dimension 0 x rank
and rank
x 0 respectively.
nmfModel(rank = missing,target = ANY)
: Creates an empty NMF model of null rank and a given dimension.
This call is equivalent to nmfModel(0, target, ...)
.
nmfModel(rank = NULL,target = ANY)
: Creates an empty NMF model of null rank and given dimension.
This call is equivalent to nmfModel(0, target, ...)
, and is meant for
internal usage only.
nmfModel(rank = missing,target = missing)
: Creates an empty NMF model or from existing factors
This method is equivalent to nmfModel(0, 0, ..., force.dim=FALSE)
.
This means that the dimensions of the NMF model will be taken from the optional
basis and mixture coefficient arguments W
and H
.
An error is thrown if their dimensions are not compatible.
Hence, this method may be used to generate an NMF model from existing factor
matrices, by providing the named arguments W
and/or H
:
nmfModel(W=w)
or nmfModel(H=h)
or nmfModel(W=w, H=h)
Note that this may be achieved using the more convenient interface is
provided by the method nmfModel,matrix,matrix
(see its dedicated description).
See the description of the appropriate method below.
nmfModel(rank = numeric,target = matrix)
: Creates an NMF model compatible with a target matrix.
This call is equivalent to nmfModel(rank, dim(target), ...)
.
That is that the returned NMF object fits a target matrix of the same
dimension as target
.
Only the dimensions of target
are used to construct the NMF
object.
The matrix slots are filled with NA
values if these are not specified
in arguments W
and/or H
.
However, dimension names are set on the return NMF model if present in
target
and argument use.names=TRUE
.
nmfModel(rank = matrix,target = matrix)
: Creates an NMF model based on two existing factors.
This method is equivalent to nmfModel(0, 0, W=rank, H=target..., force.dim=FALSE)
.
This allows for a natural shortcut for wrapping existing compatible
matrices into NMF models:
nmfModel(w, h)
Note that an error is thrown if their dimensions are not compatible.
nmfModel(rank = data.frame,target = data.frame)
: Same as nmfModel('matrix', 'matrix')
but for data.frame
objects,
which are generally produced by read.delim
-like functions.
The input data.frame
objects are converted into matrices with
as.matrix
.
nmfModel(rank = matrix,target = ANY)
: Creates an NMF model with arguments rank
and target
swapped.
This call is equivalent to nmfModel(rank=target, target=rank, ...)
.
This allows to call the nmfModel
function with arguments rank
and target
swapped.
It exists for convenience:
allows typing nmfModel(V)
instead of nmfModel(target=V)
to create
a model compatible with a given matrix V
(i.e. of dimension nrow(V), 0, ncol(V)
)
one can pass the arguments in any order (the one that comes to the user's mind first) and it still works as expected.
nmfModel(rank = formula,target = ANY)
: Build a formula-based NMF model, that can incorporate fixed basis or
coefficient terms.
