R: Multiblock partial least squares

mbpls {ade4}

R Documentation

Multiblock partial least squares

Description

Function to perform a multiblock partial least squares (PLS) of several explanatory blocks (X_1, …, X_k) defined as an object of class ktab, to explain a dependent dataset $Y$ defined as an object of class dudi

Usage

mbpls(dudiY, ktabX, scale = TRUE, option = c("uniform", "none"), scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)

Arguments

`dudiY`	an object of class `dudi` containing the dependent variables
`ktabX`	an object of class `ktab` containing the blocks of explanatory variables
`scale`	logical value indicating whether the explanatory variables should be standardized
`option`	an option for the block weighting. If `uniform`, the block weight is equal to $1/K$ for (X_1, …, X_K) and to $1$ for $X$ and $Y$. If `none`, the block weight is equal to the block inertia
`scannf`	logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed
`nf`	integer indicating the number of kept dimensions

Value

A list containing the following components is returned:

`call`	the matching call
`tabY`	data frame of dependent variables centered, eventually scaled (if scale=TRUE) and weighted (if option="uniform")
`tabX`	data frame of explanatory variables centered, eventually scaled (if scale=TRUE) and weighted (if option="uniform")
`TL, TC`	data frame useful to manage graphical outputs
`nf`	numeric value indicating the number of kept dimensions
`lw`	numeric vector of row weights
`X.cw`	numeric vector of column weighs for the explanalatory dataset
`blo`	vector of the numbers of variables in each explanatory dataset
`rank`	maximum rank of the analysis
`eig`	numeric vector containing the eigenvalues
`lX`	matrix of the global components associated with the whole explanatory dataset (scores of the individuals)
`lY`	matrix of the components associated with the dependent dataset
`Yc1`	matrix of the variable loadings associated with the dependent dataset
`cov2`	squared covariance between lY and TlX
`Tc1`	matrix containing the partial loadings associated with each explanatory dataset (unit norm)
`TlX`	matrix containing the partial components associated with each explanatory dataset
`faX`	matrix of the regression coefficients of the whole explanatory dataset onto the global components
`XYcoef`	list of matrices of the regression coefficients of the whole explanatory dataset onto the dependent dataset
`bip`	block importances for a given dimension
`bipc`	cumulated block importances for a given number of dimensions
`vip`	variable importances for a given dimension
`vipc`	cumulated variable importances for a given number of dimensions
