P-integration with Discriminant Analysis and variable selection

Description

Function to combine multiple independent studies measured on the same variables or predictors (P-integration) using variants of multi-group sparse PLS-DA for supervised classification with variable selection.

Usage

mint.splsda(
  X,
  Y,
  ncomp = 2,
  study,
  keepX = rep(ncol(X), ncomp),
  scale = TRUE,
  tol = 1e-06,
  max.iter = 100,
  near.zero.var = FALSE,
  all.outputs = TRUE,
  verbose.call = FALSE
)

Arguments

`X`	numeric matrix of predictors combining multiple independent studies on the same set of predictors. `NA`s are allowed.
`Y`	A factor or a class vector indicating the discrete outcome of each sample.
`ncomp`	Positive Integer. The number of components to include in the model. Default to 2.
`study`	Factor, indicating the membership of each sample to each of the studies being combined
`keepX`	numeric vector indicating the number of variables to select in `X` on each component. By default all variables are kept in the model.
`scale`	Logical. If scale = TRUE, each block is standardized to zero means and unit variances (default: TRUE)
`tol`	Positive numeric used as convergence criteria/tolerance during the iterative process. Default to `1e-06`.
`max.iter`	Integer, the maximum number of iterations. Default to 100.
`near.zero.var`	Logical, see the internal `nearZeroVar` function (should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero values). Setting this argument to FALSE (when appropriate) will speed up the computations. Default value is FALSE.
`all.outputs`	Logical. Computation can be faster when some specific (and non-essential) outputs are not calculated. Default = `TRUE`.
`verbose.call`	Logical (Default=FALSE), if set to TRUE then the `$call` component of the returned object will contain the variable values for all parameters. Note that this may cause large memory usage.

Details

mint.splsda function fits a vertical sparse PLS-DA models with ncomp components in which several independent studies measured on the same variables are integrated. The aim is to classify the discrete outcome Y and select variables that explain the outcome. The study factor indicates the membership of each sample in each study. We advise to only combine studies with more than 3 samples as the function performs internal scaling per study, and where all outcome categories are represented.

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

The type of deflation used is 'regression' for discriminant algorithms. i.e. no deflation is performed on Y.

Variable selection is performed on each component for X via input parameter keepX.

Useful graphical outputs are available, e.g. plotIndiv, plotLoadings, plotVar.

Value

mint.splsda returns an object of class "mint.splsda", "splsda", 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.
`ind.mat`	the centered and standardized original response vector or matrix.
`ncomp`	the number of components included in the model.
`study`	The study grouping factor
`mode`	the algorithm used to fit the model.
`keepX`	Number of variables used to build each component of X
`variates`	list containing the variates of X - global variates.
`loadings`	list containing the estimated loadings for the variates - global loadings.
`variates.partial`	list containing the variates of X relative to each study - partial variates.
`loadings.partial`	list containing the estimated loadings for the partial variates - partial loadings.
`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 algorithm for each component
`prop_expl_var`	Percentage of explained variance for each component and each study (note that contrary to PCA, this amount may not decrease as the aim of the method is not to maximise the variance, but the covariance between X and the dummy matrix Y).
`call`	if `verbose.call = FALSE`, then just the function call is returned. If `verbose.call = TRUE` then all the inputted values are accessable via this component
