Divergence based regression for compositional data with compositional data in the covariates side using the alpha-transformation: Divergence based regression for compositional data with compositional data in the covariates side using the $\alpha$-transformation

Description

Divergence based regression for compositional data with compositional data in the covariates side using the $\alpha$-transformation.

Usage

kl.alfapcr(y, x, covar = NULL, a, k, xnew = NULL, B = 1, ncores = 1, tol = 1e-07,
maxiters = 50)

Arguments

y

A numerical matrixc with compositional data with or without zeros.

x

A matrix with the predictor variables, the compositional data. Zero values are allowed.

covar

If you have other covariates as well put themn here.

a

The value of the power transformation, it has to be between -1 and 1. If zero values are present it has to be greater than 0. If $\alpha =0$ the isometric log-ratio transformation is applied.

k

A number at least equal to 1. How many principal components to use.

xnew

A matrix containing the new compositional data whose response is to be predicted. If you have no new data, leave this NULL as is by default.

B

If B is greater than 1 bootstrap estimates of the standard error are returned. If B=1, no standard errors are returned.

ncores

If ncores is 2 or more parallel computing is performed. This is to be used for the case of bootstrap. If B=1, this is not taken into consideration.

tol

The tolerance value to terminate the Newton-Raphson procedure.

maxiters

The maximum number of Newton-Raphson iterations.

Value

A list including:

runtime

The time required by the regression.

iters

The number of iterations required by the Newton-Raphson in the kl.compreg function.

loglik

The log-likelihood. This is actually a quasi multinomial regression. This is bascially minus the half deviance, or $-su{m}_{i=1}^n{y}_i\log y_i/{\hat{y}}_i$.

be

The beta coefficients.

seb

The standard error of the beta coefficients, if bootstrap is chosen, i.e. if B > 1.

est

The fitted values of xnew if xnew is not NULL.

Details

The $\alpha$-transformation is applied to the compositional data first, the first k principal component scores are calcualted and used as predictor variables for the Kullback-Leibler divergence based regression model.
