acprob: Robust principal component analysis

Description

Robust principal component analysis

Usage

acprob(x,h,center=TRUE,reduce=TRUE,kernel="gaussien")

Value

An object of class acp

The object is a list with components:

sdev

the standard deviations of the principal components.

loadings

the matrix of variable loadings (i.e., a matrix whose columns contain the eigenvectors). This is of class "loadings": see loadings for its print method.

scores

if scores = TRUE, the scores of the supplied data on the principal components.

eig

Eigen values

Arguments

x

Matrix / data frame

h

Scalar: bandwidth of the Kernel

kernel

The kernel used. This must be one of '"gaussien"', '"quartic"', '"triweight"', '"epanechikov"' , '"cosinus"' or '"uniform"'

center

A logical value indicating whether we center data

reduce

A logical value indicating whether we "reduce" data i.e. divide each column by standard deviation
