backfit: Backfit from scores to configuration

Description

Backfit from PNSS or PCA scores to a representative configuration

Usage

backfit(scores, x, type="pnss", size=1)

Value

A k x m matrix of co-ordinates of the backfitted configuration

Arguments

scores

n x p matrix of scores

x

An object that is the output of either pnss3d (if type="pnss") or procGPA (if type="pca")

type

Either "pnss" for PNSS or "pca" for PCA

size

The centroid size of the backfitted configuration. The default is 1 but one can rescale the backfitting if desired.

Examples

ans <- pnss3d( macf.dat, sphere.type="BIC", n.pc=8)
y <- backfit( ans$PNS$scores[1,] , ans ,type="pnss")
riemdist( macf.dat[,,1] , y )  #should be close to zero

ans2 <- procGPA( macf.dat, tangentcoords="partial")
y <- backfit( ans2$scores[1,] , ans2 ,type="pca")
riemdist( macf.dat[,,1] , y )  #should be close to zero
