Tuning the principal components with GLMs: Tuning the principal components with GLMs

Description

Tuning the number of principal components in the generalised linear models.

Usage

glmpcr.tune(y, x, M = 10, maxk = 10,
mat = NULL, ncores = 1, graph = TRUE)

Arguments

y

A real valued vector.

x

A matrix with the predictor variables, they have to be continuous.

M

The number of folds in the cross validation.

maxk

The maximum number of principal components to check.

mat

You can specify your own folds by giving a mat, where each column is a fold. Each column contains indices of the observations. You can also leave it NULL and it will create folds.

ncores

The number of cores to use. If more than 1, parallel computing will take place. It is advisable to use it if you have many observations and or many variables, otherwise it will slow down th process.

graph

If graph is TRUE a plot of the performance for each fold along the values of \(\alpha\) will appear.

Value

If graph is TRUE a plot of the performance versus the number of principal components will appear. A list including:

msp

A matrix with the mean squared error of prediction (MSPE) for every fold.

mpd

A vector with the mean squared error of prediction (MSPE), each value corresponds to a number of principal components.

k

The number of principal components which minimizes the MSPE.

performance

The lowest value of the MSPE.

runtime

The time required by the cross-validation procedure.

Details

Cross validation is performed to select the optimal number of principal components in the GLM. This is used by alfapcr.tune.
