SelvarClustLasso: Regularization for variable selection in model-based clustering

Description

This function implements the variable selection in model-based clustering using a lasso ranking on the variables as described in Sedki et al (2014). The variable ranking step uses the penalized EM algorithm of Zhou et al (2009).

Usage

SelvarClustLasso(x, nbcluster, lambda, rho, type, rank, hsize, criterion, 
                 models, rmodel, imodel, nbcores)

Arguments

x

matrix or data frame containing quantitative data. Rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables

nbcluster

numeric listing of the number of clusters (must be positive integers)

lambda

numeric listing of the tuning parameters for \(\ell_1\) mean penalty

rho

numeric listing of the tuning parameters for \(\ell_1\) precision matrix penalty

type

character defining the type of ranking procedure, must be "lasso" or "likelihood". Default is "lasso"

rank

integer listing the rank of variables with (the length this vector must be equal to the number of variables in the dataset)

hsize

optional parameter make less strength the forward and backward algorithms to select \(S\) and \(W\) sets

criterion

list of character defining the criterion to select the best model. The best model is the one with the highest criterion value. Possible values: "BIC", "ICL", c("BIC", "ICL"). Default is "BIC"

models

a Rmixmod ['>Model] object defining the list of models to run. The models Gaussian_pk_L_C, Gaussian_pk_Lk_C, Gaussian_pk_L_Ck, and Gaussian_pk_Lk_Ck are called by default (see mixmodGaussianModel() in Rmixmod package to specify other models)

rmodel

list of character defining the covariance matrix form for the linear regression of \(U\) on the \(R\) set of variables. Possible values: "LI" for spherical form, "LB" for diagonal form and "LC" for general form. Possible values: "LI", "LB", "LC", c("LI", "LB"), c("LI", "LC"), c("LB", "LC") and c("LI", "LB", "LC"). Default is c("LI", "LB", "LC")

imodel

list of character defining the covariance matrix form for independent variables \(W\). Possible values: "LI" for spherical form and "LB" for diagonal form. Possible values: "LI", "LB", c("LI", "LB"). Default is c("LI", LB")

nbcores

number of CPUs to be used when parallel computing is used (default is 2)

Value

for each criterion BIC or ICL

S

The selected set of relevant clustering variables

R

The selected subset of regressors

U

The selected set of redundant variables

W

The selected set of independent variables

criterionValue

The criterion value for the selected model

nbcluster

The selected number of clusters

model

The selected Gaussian mixture form

%% the selected gaussian mixture form
rmodel

The selected covariance form for the regression

imodel

The selected covariance form for the independent Gaussian distribution

parameters

Rmixmod ['>Parameter] object containing all mixture parameters

regparameters

Matrix containing all regression coefficients, each column is the regression coefficients of one redundant variable on the selected R set

proba

Matrix containing the conditional probabilities of belonging to each cluster for all observations

partition

Vector of length n containing the cluster assignments of the n observations according to the Maximum-a-Posteriori rule
