splsda: Sparse Partial Least Squares Discriminate Analysis (sPLS-DA)

Description

Function to perform sparse Partial Least Squares to classify samples. The sPLS-DA approach embeds variable selection for this purpose.

Usage

splsda(X, Y, ncomp = 2, keepX = rep(ncol(X), ncomp),
       max.iter = 500, tol = 1e-06, near.zero.var = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

X

numeric matrix of predictors. NAs are allowed.

Y

a factor or a class vector for the discrete outcome.

ncomp

the number of components to include in the model (see Details).

keepX

numeric vector of length ncomp, the number of variables to keep in $X$-loadings. By default all variables are kept in the model.

max.iter

integer, the maximum number of iterations.

tol

a positive real, the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm.

near.zero.var

boolean, see the internal nearZeroVar function (should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero values). Setting this argument to FALSE (when appropriate) will speed up the computations.

...

arguments to pass to nearZeroVar.

Value

• splsda returns an object of class "splsda", a list that contains the following components:
• X
  the centered and standardized original predictor matrix.
• Y
  the centered and standardized indicator response vector or matrix.
• ind.mat
  the indicator matrix.
• ncomp
  the number of components included in the model.
• keepX
  number of $X$ variables kept in the model on each component.
• mat.c
  matrix of coefficients to be used internally by predict.
• variates
  list containing the variates.
• loadings
  list containing the estimated loadings for the X and Y variates.
• names
  list containing the names to be used for individuals and variables.
• nzv
  list containing the zero- or near-zero predictors information.

Details

splsda function fit sPLS models with $1, \ldots ,$ncomp components to the factor or class vector Y. The appropriate indicator matrix is created.

Examples

## First example
data(breast.tumors)
X <- breast.tumors$gene.exp
Y <- breast.tumors$sample$treatment

res <- splsda(X, Y, ncomp = 2, keepX = c(25, 25))
palette(c("red", "blue"))
col.breast <- as.numeric(as.factor(Y))
plotIndiv(res, ind.names = TRUE, col = col.breast)
legend('bottomleft', c("After", "Before"), pch = c(16, 16), 
       col = unique(col.breast), cex = 1, pt.cex = c(1.2, 1.2), 
       title = "Treatment")
palette("default")

## Second example
data(liver.toxicity)
X <- as.matrix(liver.toxicity$gene)
Y <- liver.toxicity$treatment[, 4]

splsda.liver = splsda(X, Y, ncomp = 2, keepX = c(20, 20))
col.rat <- as.numeric(as.factor(Y))
plotIndiv(splsda.liver, col = col.rat, ind.names = Y)
