compositions (version 2.0-2)

missingProjector: Returns a projector the the observed space in case of missings.

Description

Returns projectors on the observed subspace in the presence of missings.

Usage

missingProjector(x,...,by="s")
# S3 method for acomp
missingProjector(x,has=is.NMV(x),...,by="s")
# S3 method for aplus
missingProjector(x,has=is.NMV(x),...,by="s")
# S3 method for rcomp
missingProjector(x,has=!(is.MAR(x)|is.MNAR(x)),...,by="s")
# S3 method for rplus
missingProjector(x,has=!(is.MAR(x)|is.MNAR(x)),...,by="s")

Arguments

x

a dataset or object of the given class

has

a boolean matrix of the same size indicating nonmissing values

…

additional arguments for generic purpose only

by

the name of the dataset dimension on has for tensorial computation with tensorA package

Value

A dataset of N square matrices of dimension DxD (with N and D respectively equal to the number of rows and columns in x). Each of these matrices gives the projection of a data row onto its observed sub-space. The function sumMissingProjector takes all these matrices and sums them, generating a "summary" of observed sub-spaces. This matrix is useful to obtain estimates of the mean (and variance, in the future) still unbiased in the presence of lost values (only of type MAR, stricly-speaking, but anyway useful for any type of missing value, when used with care).

Details

See the references for details on that function.
