TuneExplainedVarianceCor: Tuning function (correlation)

Description

Computes the difference in absolute value between the desired and observed proportion of explained variance from the first Principal Component of a Principal Component Analysis applied on the correlation matrix. The precision matrix is obtained by adding u to the diagonal of a positive semidefinite matrix. This function is used to find the value of the constant u that generates a correlation matrix with desired proportion of explained variance.

Usage

TuneExplainedVarianceCor(u, ev_xx = NULL, omega)

Value

The absolute difference in proportion of explained variance (if

ev_xx is provided) or observed proportion of explained variance (if

ev_xx=NULL).

Arguments

u

constant u added to the diagonal of the precision matrix.

ev_xx

desired proportion of explained variance. If ev_xx=NULL, the obtained proportion of explained variance is returned.

omega

positive semidefinite precision matrix.
