A function that does the embedding and returns a
dimRedResult object.
stdpars
The standard parameters for the function.
General usage
Dimensionality reduction methods are S4 Classes that either be used
directly, in which case they have to be initialized and a full
list with parameters has to be handed to the @fun()
slot, or the method name be passed to the embed function and
parameters can be given to the ..., in which case
missing parameters will be replaced by the ones in the
@stdpars.
Parameters
The method can take the following parameters:
ndim
The number of output dimensions.
method
character, which algorithm should be used. See
nmf for possible values. Defaults to
"brunet"
nrun
integer, the number of times the computations are
conducted. See nmf
seed
integer, a value to control the random numbers used.
options
named list, other options to pass to nmf
Implementation
Wraps around nmf. Note that the estimation uses random
numbers. To create reproducible results, set the random number seed in the
function call. Also, in many cases, the computations will be conducted
in parallel using multiple cores. To disable this, use the option
.pbackend = NULL.
Details
NNMF is a method for decomposing a matrix into a smaller
dimension such that the constraint that the data (and the
projection) are not negative is taken into account.
