SDAP: Sparse Discriminant Analysis solved via Proximal Gradient

Description

Applies proximal gradient algorithm to the optimal scoring formulation of sparse discriminant analysis proposed by Clemmensen et al. 2011.

Usage

SDAP(x, ...)

# S3 method for default SDAP(Xt, Yt, Om, gam, lam, q, PGsteps, PGtol, maxits, tol)

Arguments

Xt

n by p data matrix, (not a data frame, but a matrix)

Yt

n by K matrix of indicator variables (Yij = 1 if i in class j). This will later be changed to handle factor variables as well. Each observation belongs in a single class, so for a given row/observation, only one element is 1 and the rest is 0.

Om

p by p parameter matrix Omega in generalized elastic net penalty.

gam

Regularization parameter for elastic net penalty.

lam

Regularization parameter for l1 penalty, must be greater than zero.

q

Desired number of discriminant vectors.

PGsteps

Maximum number if inner proximal gradient algorithm for finding beta.

PGtol

Stopping tolerance for inner APG method.

maxits

Number of iterations to run

tol

Stopping tolerance for proximal gradient algorithm.

Value

SDAP returns an object of class "SDAP" including a list with the following named components: (More will be added later to handle the predict function)

call

The matched call.

B

p by q matrix of discriminant vectors.

Q

K by q matrix of scoring vectors.
