spectral: Analyze a Rank Dataset

Description

spectral analyzes a rank dataset for order interactions; see examples for details.

Usage

spectral(data, n, k, levels, iter = 10000, burn = 1000, thin = 10)

Arguments

data

a vector in the frequency format (see examples)

the number of objects to select from

the number of objects selected

levels

the names of the outcomes, in the proper order

iter

iterations in metropolis

burn

burn in

thin

thinning

Value

a list containing named elements

effects: the pure ith order effects as a data frame computed by projecting the data onto the isotypic subspaces. the length of each is the same as the data, choose(n, k).
effectsNorms: the l2 norms of each effect.
statsMatrices: the lower order statistics calculating matrices, made with Tmaker.
moves: the markov moves for moving around each V, computed with markov on the statsMatrices. only the positive moves are given.
samps: the samples from each space conditioned on each level of statistics. this is the output of metropolis.
obs: a list of the observed data and its lower level summaries.
exp: a list of the expected number of samples at each level given the summary statistics at the previous (lower) level. these are computed from the samples from metropolis by (1) summarizing them with Tmaker and then (2) averaging the samples. the expected V2 samples (for example), are determined by taking the samples with the same V1 statistics (in V3, say), summarizing them to V2 with Tmaker, and then averaging every cell across the samples.
fullExp: this is the result of taking each of the samples with the same lower-order statistics and averaging them. see exp, which is a reduction of fullExp.
residuals: obs - exp
isotypicBases: a list of the basis vectors of each isotypic subspace; computed as the eigenvalues of the result of Amaker, and grouped by eigenvalue.
sampsEffects: the effects determined by each of the samples, projected onto the isotypic subspaces.
sampsEffectsNorms : the norms of the effects of the samples.
sampsEffectsNormSummary : a summary of the norms of the effects of the samples.
showStages: a function that prints out the observed, expected, and residuals of sequentially conditioning on the sample size, first order statistics, second order statistics, and so on.
showFit: a function that prints out a summary of the fit of the model.
decompose: a function that takes a vector of the same length of the table given and summarizes it to its lower level statistics.
sampsDecomposed: every sample decomposed.
statistic: the pearson's chi-squared (X2), likelihood ratio (G2), Freeman-Tukey (FT), Cressie-Read (CR), and Neyman modified chi-squared (NM) statistics computed using the observed data (obs) and expected data (exp) at each level.
sampsStats: the statistics computed on each of the samples.
p.value: the exact p-values of individual tests, accurate to Monte-Carlo error. these are computed as the proportion of samples with statistics equal to or larger than the oberved statistic.
p.value.se: the standard errors of the p-values computed using the standard asymptotic formula of sqrt(p(1-p)/n). a measure of the Monte-Carlo error.

# # (the number of individual cookies selected) is quite good
# 
# 
# 
# # instead of using the reconstructions from the exp coming from
# # the samples, you could reconstruct the summaries of the observed
# # data using bump; it's not quite as good :
# V0 <- bump(cookie$freq, 6, 3, 3, 0)
# V1 <- bump(cookie$freq, 6, 3, 3, 1)
# V2 <- bump(cookie$freq, 6, 3, 3, 2)
# 
# cbind(
#   obs = cookie$freq,
#   round(data.frame(
#     V0 = bump(V0, 6, 3, 0, 3),
#     V1 = bump(V1, 6, 3, 1, 3),

# # you can see the model step-by-step with showStages() :
# out$showStages()
# # notice (1) the significant reduction in the residuals after conditioning
# # on the first order statistics and also (2) the powdery noise after
# # conditioning on the second order statistics.
# # the p-values reflect the same:
# #   * the residuals from conditioning on the sample size show the first
# #     order effects are strongly significant (in out$p.value V1 = 0)
# #   * the residuals from conditioning on the first order effects suggest
# #     the second order effects might be significant (V2 ~ .04-.13ish)
# #   * the residuals from conditioning on the second order effects indicate
# #     the third order effects are entirely insignificant (V3 > .2)
# 
# 
# # the isotypic subpaces can be used to determine the pure order effects :
# 
# out$isotypicBases # bases of the isotypic subspaces (here 4)
# 
# out$effects # pure ith order effects; cookie$freq projected onto the bases
#             # these are their effects at the data level, so they all have
#             # the same length as the original dataset: choose(n, k)
# 
# zapsmall(rowSums(out$effects)) # the effects sum to the data
# 
# 
# # if the Vk effects are 0, then the conclusion is that Vk is perfectly
# # predicted with the (k-1)st level statistics.  this may lead to the
# # conclusion that the l2 norms (say) of the effects might be used to
# # gauge the relative strength of effects :
# out$effectsNorms # = apply(out$effects, 2, lpnorm)
# 
# 
# # the natural (not full-dimensional) residuals can be seen with the summary
# out
# # or with
# out$residuals
