shenkWest: SELECT algorithm for calibration sampling

Description

Select calibration samples from a large multivariate data using the SELECT algorithm as described in Shenk and Westerhaus (1991).

Usage

shenkWest(X,
          d.min = 0.6,
          pc = 0.95,
          rm.outlier = FALSE,
          .center = TRUE,
          .scale = FALSE)

Value

a list with components:

• 'model': numeric vector giving the row indices of the input data selected for calibration

• 'test': numeric vector giving the row indices of the remaining observations

• 'pc': a numeric matrix of the scaled pc scores

Arguments

X

a numeric matrix (optionally a data frame that can be coerced to a numerical matrix).

d.min

a minimum distance (default = 0.6).

pc

the number of principal components retained in the computation distance in the standardized Principal Component space (Mahalanobis distance). If pc < 1, the number of principal components kept corresponds to the number of components explaining at least (pc * 100) percent of the total variance (default = 0.95).

rm.outlier

logical. If TRUE, remove observations with a standardized mahalanobis distance to the center of the data greater than 3 (default = FALSE).

.center

logical. Indicates whether the input matrix should be centered before Principal Component Analysis. Default set to TRUE.

.scale

logical. Indicates whether the input matrix should be scaled before Principal Component Analysis. Default set to FALSE.

Details

The SELECT algorithm is an iterative procedure based on the standardized Mahalanobis distance between observations. First, the observation having the highest number of neighbours within a given minimum distance is selected and its neighbours are discarded. The procedure is repeated until there is no observation left.

If the rm.outlier argument is set to TRUE, outliers will be removed before running the SELECT algorithm, using the CENTER algorithm of Shenk and Westerhaus (1991), i.e. samples with a standardized Mahalanobis distance >3 are removed.

Examples

data(NIRsoil)
# reduce data size
NIRsoil$spc <- binning(X = NIRsoil$spc, bin.size = 5)
sel <- shenkWest(NIRsoil$spc, pc = .99, d.min = .3, rm.outlier = FALSE)
plot(sel$pc[, 1:2], xlab = "PC1", ylab = "PC2")
# points selected for calibration
points(sel$pc[sel$model, 1:2], pch = 19, col = 2)
# without outliers
sel <- shenkWest(NIRsoil$spc, pc = .99, d.min = .3, rm.outlier = TRUE)
plot(sel$pc[, 1:2], xlab = "PC1", ylab = "PC2")
# points selected for calibration
points(sel$pc[sel$model, 1:2], pch = 15, col = 3)
