est.made: Manifold-Adaptive Dimension Estimation

Description

do.made first aims at finding local dimesion estimates using nearest neighbor techniques based on the first-order approximation of the probability mass function and then combines them to get a single global estimate. Due to the rate of convergence of such estimate to be independent of assumed dimensionality, authors claim this method to be manifold-adaptive.

Usage

est.made(
  X,
  k = round(sqrt(ncol(X))),
  maxdim = min(ncol(X), 15),
  combine = c("mean", "median", "vote")
)

Arguments

X

an \((n\times p)\) matrix or data frame whose rows are observations.

k

size of neighborhood for analysis.

maxdim

maximum possible dimension allowed for the algorithm to investigate.

combine

method to aggregate local estimates for a single global estimate.

Value

a named list containing containing

estdim

estimated global intrinsic dimension.

estloc

a length-\(n\) vector estimated dimension at each point.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## create a data set of intrinsic dimension 2.
X = aux.gensamples(dname="swiss")

## compare effect of 3 combining scheme
out1 = est.made(X, combine="mean")
out2 = est.made(X, combine="median")
out3 = est.made(X, combine="vote")

## print the results
sprintf("* est.made : estimated dimension with 'mean'   method is %d.",out1$estdim)
sprintf("* est.made : estimated dimension with 'median' method is %d.",out2$estdim)
sprintf("* est.made : estimated dimension with 'vote'   method is %d.",out3$estdim)
