TuckerFactors: Choice of the number of Tucker 3 factors for FPDC

Description

An empirical way of choosing the number of factors for FPDC. The function returns a graph and a table representing the explained variability varying the number of factors.

Usage

TuckerFactors(data = NULL, k = 2)

Value

A table containing the explained variability varying the number of factors for units (column) and for variables (row) and the corresponding plot

Arguments

data

A matrix or data frame such that rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables.

k

A numerical parameter giving the number of clusters
