do.mmc: Maximum Margin Criterion

Description

Maximum Margin Criterion (MMC) is a linear supervised dimension reduction method that maximizes average margin between classes. The cost function is defined as $$trace(S_b - S_w)$$ where \(S_b\) is an overall variance of class mean vectors, and \(S_w\) refers to spread of every class. Note that Principal Component Analysis (PCA) maximizes total scatter, \(S_t = S_b + S_w\).

Usage

do.mmc(X, label, ndim = 2)

Value

a named Rdimtools S3 object containing

Y

an \((n\times ndim)\) matrix whose rows are embedded observations.

projection

a \((p\times ndim)\) whose columns are basis for projection.

algorithm

name of the algorithm.

Arguments

X

an \((n\times p)\) matrix whose rows are observations and columns represent independent variables.

label

a length-\(n\) vector of data class labels.

ndim

an integer-valued target dimension.

# \donttest{
## use iris data
data(iris, package="Rdimtools")
subid = sample(1:150, 50)
X     = as.matrix(iris[subid,1:4])
label = as.factor(iris[subid,5])

## compare MMC with other methods
outMMC = do.mmc(X, label)
outMVP = do.mvp(X, label)
outPCA = do.pca(X)

## visualize
