spls: Sparse Partial Least Squares (sPLS)

Description

Function to perform sparse Partial Least Squares (sPLS). The sPLS approach combines both integration and variable selection simultaneously on two data sets in a one-step strategy.

Usage

spls(X, Y, ncomp = 2, mode = c("regression", "canonical"),
     max.iter = 500, tol = 1e-06, keepX = rep(ncol(X), ncomp), 
     keepY = rep(ncol(Y), ncomp), ...)

Arguments

X

numeric matrix of predictors. NAs are allowed.

Y

numeric vector or matrix of responses (for multi-response models). NAs are allowed.

ncomp

the number of components to include in the model (see Details). Default is set to from one to the rank of X.

mode

character string. What type of algorithm to use, (partially) matching one of "regression" or "canonical". See Details.

max.iter

integer, the maximum number of iterations.

tol

a positive real, the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm.

keepX

numeric vector of length ncomp, the number of variables to keep in $X$-loadings. By default all variables are kept in the model.

keepY

numeric vector of length ncomp, the number of variables to keep in $Y$-loadings. By default all variables are kept in the model.

...

arguments to pass to nearZeroVar.

Value

• spls returns an object of class "spls", a list that contains the following components:
• X
  the centered and standardized original predictor matrix.
• Y
  the centered and standardized original response vector or matrix.
• ncomp
  the number of components included in the model.
• mode
  the algorithm used to fit the model.
• keepX
  number of $X$ variables kept in the model on each component.
• keepY
  number of $Y$ variables kept in the model on each component.
• mat.c
  matrix of coefficients to be used internally by predict.
• variates
  list containing the variates.
• loadings
  list containing the estimated loadings for the $X$ and $Y$ variates.
• names
  list containing the names to be used for individuals and variables.
• nzv
  list containing the zero- or near-zero predictors information.

Details

spls function fit sPLS models with $1, \ldots ,$ncomp components. Multi-response models are fully supported. The X and Y datasets can contain missing values. The type of algorithm to use is specified with the mode argument. Two sPLS algorithms are available: sPLS regression ("regression") and sPLS canonical analysis ("canonical") (see References). The estimation of the missing values can be performed by the reconstitution of the data matrix using the nipals function. Otherwise, missing values are handled by casewise deletion in the spls function without having to delete the rows with missing data.
