block.plsda: N-integration with Projection to Latent Structures models (PLS) with Discriminant Analysis

Description

Integration of multiple data sets measured on the same samples or observations to classify a discrete outcome, ie. N-integration with Discriminant Analysis. The method is partly based on Generalised Canonical Correlation Analysis.

Usage

block.plsda(X,
Y,
indY,
ncomp = 2,
design,
scheme,
mode,
scale = TRUE,
init = "svd",
tol = 1e-06,
max.iter = 100,
near.zero.var = FALSE,
all.outputs = TRUE)

Arguments

X

A list of data sets (called 'blocks') measured on the same samples. Data in the list should be arranged in matrices, samples x variables, with samples order matching in all data sets.

Y

A factor or a class vector indicating the discrete outcome of each sample.

indY

To be supplied if Y is missing, indicates the position of the factor / class vector outcome in the list X

ncomp

the number of components to include in the model. Default to 2. Applies to all blocks.

design

numeric matrix of size (number of blocks in X) x (number of blocks in X) with values between 0 and 1. Each value indicates the strenght of the relationship to be modelled between two blocks; a value of 0 indicates no relationship, 1 is the maximum value. If Y is provided instead of indY, the design matrix is changed to include relationships to Y.

scheme

Either "horst", "factorial" or "centroid". Default = horst, see reference.

mode

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

scale

boleean. If scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero means and unit variances. Default = TRUE.

init

Mode of initialization use in the algorithm, either by Singular Value Decompostion of the product of each block of X with Y ("svd") or each block independently ("svd.single"). Default = svd.

tol

Convergence stopping value.

max.iter

integer, the maximum number of iterations.

near.zero.var

boolean, see the internal nearZeroVar function (should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero values). Default = FALSE.

all.outputs

boolean. Computation can be faster when some specific (and non-essential) outputs are not calculated. Default = TRUE.

Value

block.plsda returns an object of class "block.plsda","block.pls", a list that contains the following components:

X

the centered and standardized original predictor matrix.

indY

the position of the outcome Y in the output list X.

ncomp

the number of components included in the model for each block.

mode

the algorithm used to fit the model.

variates

list containing the variates of each block of X.

loadings

list containing the estimated loadings for the variates.

names

list containing the names to be used for individuals and variables.

nzv

list containing the zero- or near-zero predictors information.

iter

Number of iterations of the algorthm for each component

explained_variance

Percentage of explained variance for each component and each block

Details

block.plsda function fits a horizontal integration PLS-DA model with a specified number of components per block). A factor indicating the discrete outcome needs to be provided, either by Y or by its position indY in the list of blocks X.

X can contain missing values. Missing values are handled by being disregarded during the cross product computations in the algorithm block.pls without having to delete rows with missing data. Alternatively, missing data can be imputed prior using the nipals function.

The type of algorithm to use is specified with the mode argument. Four PLS algorithms are available: PLS regression ("regression"), PLS canonical analysis ("canonical"), redundancy analysis ("invariant") and the classical PLS algorithm ("classic") (see References and ?pls for more details).

Note that our method is partly based on Generalised Canonical Correlation Analysis and differs from the MB-PLS approaches proposed by Kowalski et al., 1989, J Chemom 3(1) and Westerhuis et al., 1998, J Chemom, 12(5).

data = list(gene = nutrimouse$gene, lipid = nutrimouse$lipid, Y = nutrimouse$diet)
# with this design, all blocks are connected
design = matrix(c(0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0), ncol = 3, nrow = 3,
byrow = TRUE, dimnames = list(names(data), names(data)))

res = block.plsda(X = data, indY = 3) # indY indicates where the outcome Y is in the list X

# }
# NOT RUN {
# when Y is provided
res2 = block.plsda(list(gene = nutrimouse$gene, lipid = nutrimouse$lipid),
    Y = nutrimouse$diet, ncomp = 2)
