wpca: Light-weight Weighted Principal Component Analysis

Description

Calculates the (weighted) principal components of a matrix, that is, finds a new coordinate system (not unique) for representing the given multivariate data such that i) all dimensions are orthogonal to each other, and ii) all dimensions have maximal variances.

Usage

"wpca"(x, w=NULL, center=TRUE, scale=FALSE, method=c("dgesdd", "dgesvd"), swapDirections=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

An NxK matrix.

w

An N vector of weights for each row (observation) in the data matrix. If NULL, all observations get the same weight, that is, standard PCA is used.

center

If TRUE, the (weighted) sample mean column vector is subtracted from each column in mat, first. If data is not centered, the effect will be that a linear subspace that goes through the origin is fitted.

scale

If TRUE, each column in mat is divided by its (weighted) root-mean-square of the centered column, first.

method

If "dgesdd" LAPACK's divide-and-conquer based SVD routine is used (faster [1]). If "dgesvd", LAPACK's QR-decomposition-based routine is used.

swapDirections

If TRUE, the signs of eigenvectors that have more negative than positive components are inverted. The signs of corresponding principal components are also inverted. This is only of interest when for instance visualizing or comparing with other PCA estimates from other methods, because the PCA (SVD) decompostion of a matrix is not unique.

...

Not used.

Value

Returns a list with elements:

pc

An NxK matrix where the column vectors are the principal components (a.k.a. loading vectors, spectral loadings or factors etc).

d

An K vector containing the eigenvalues of the principal components.

vt

An KxK matrix containing the eigenvector of the principal components.

xMean

The center coordinate.

It holds that x == t(t(fit$pc %*% fit$vt) + fit$xMean).

Method

A singular value decomposition (SVD) is carried out. Let X=mat, then the SVD of the matrix is $X = U D V'$, where $U$ and $V$ are othogonal, and $D$ is a diagonal matrix with singular values. The principal returned by this method are $U D$. Internally La.svd() (or svd()) of the base package is used. For a popular and well written introduction to SVD see for instance [2].
