Renvlp (version 2.7)

xenv: Fit the envelope model in the predictor space

Description

Fit the envelope model in the predictor space with dimension u under linear regression.

Usage

xenv(X, Y, u, asy = TRUE, init = NULL)

Arguments

X

Predictors. An n by p matrix, p is the number of predictors and n is number of observations. The predictors must be continuous variables.

Y

Responses. An n by r matrix, r is the number of responses. The response can be univariate or multivariate and must be continuous variable.

u

Dimension of the envelope. An integer between 0 and p.

asy

Flag for computing the asymptotic variance of the envelope estimator. The default is TRUE. When p and r are large, computing the asymptotic variance can take much time and memory. If only the envelope estimators are needed, the flag can be set to asy = FALSE.

init

The user-specified value of Gamma for the envelope subspace in the predictor space. An p by u matrix. The default is the one generated by function envMU.

Value

The output is a list that contains the following components:

beta

The envelope estimator of the regression coefficients.

SigmaX

The envelope estimator of the covariance matrix of X.

Gamma

An orthonormal basis of the envelope subspace.

Gamma0

An orthonormal basis of the complement of the envelope subspace.

eta

The estimated eta. According to the envelope parameterization, beta = Gamma * Omega^-1 * eta.

Omega

The coordinates of SigmaX with respect to Gamma.

Omega0

The coordinates of SigmaX with respect to Gamma0.

mu

The estimated intercept.

SigmaYcX

The estimated conditional covariance matrix of Y given X.

loglik

The maximized log likelihood function.

covMatrix

The asymptotic covariance of vec(beta). The covariance matrix returned are asymptotic. For the actual standard errors, multiply by 1 / n.

asySE

The asymptotic standard error for elements in beta under the envelope model. The standard errors returned are asymptotic, for actual standard errors, multiply by 1 / sqrt(n).

ratio

The asymptotic standard error ratio of the standard multivariate linear regression estimator over the envelope estimator, for each element in beta.

n

The number of observations in the data.

Details

This function fits the envelope model in the predictor space, $$ Y = \mu + \eta'\Omega^{-1}\Gamma' X +\varepsilon, \Sigma_{X}=\Gamma\Omega\Gamma'+\Gamma_{0}\Omega_{0}\Gamma'_{0} $$ using the maximum likelihood estimation. When the dimension of the envelope is between 1 and p-1, the starting value and blockwise coordinate descent algorithm in Cook et al. (2016) is implemented. When the dimension is p, then the envelope model degenerates to the standard multivariate linear regression. When the dimension is 0, it means that X and Y are uncorrelated, and the fitting is different.
