Both of principal fitted response reduction and unstructured principal fitted response reduction require
a choice of fx. The function will return one of four choices of fx, which are popular candidates among many.
fx.choice=1
: This is default and returns the original predictor matrice X, centered at zero as fx.
fx.choice=2
: This returns the original predictor matrice X, centered at zero and its squared values.
fx.choice=3
: This returns the original predictor matrice X, centered at zero and its exponentiated values.
fx.choice=4
: This clusters X with K-means algoritm with the number of clusters equal to the value in nclust
.
Then, the cluster results are expanded to \(\code{nclust}-1\) dummy variables, like factor used in lm
function.
Finally, it returns nclust-1
categorical basis. The option of nclust
works only with fx.choice=4
.
