nipals function

Non-linear Iterative Partial Least Squares (NIPALS) algorithm

This function performs NIPALS algorithm, i.e. a principal component analysis of a data table that can contain missing values.

nipals(df, nf = 2, rec = FALSE, niter = 100, tol = 1e-09)
## S3 method for class 'nipals'
scatter(x, xax = 1, yax = 2, clab.row = 0.75, clab.col
= 1, posieig = "top", sub = NULL, ...)
## S3 method for class 'nipals'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

• df: a data frame that can contain missing values
• nf: an integer, the number of axes to keep
• rec: a logical that specify if the functions must perform the reconstitution of the data using the nf axes
• niter: an integer, the maximum number of iterations
• tol: a real, the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm
• x: an object of class nipals
• xax: the column number for the x-axis
• yax: the column number for the y-axis
• clab.row: a character size for the rows
• clab.col: a character size for the columns
• posieig: if "top" the eigenvalues bar plot is upside, if "bottom" it is downside, if "none" no plot
• sub: a string of characters to be inserted as legend
• ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods

Details

Data are scaled (mean 0 and variance 1) prior to the analysis.

Returns

Returns a list of classes nipals: - tab: the scaled data frame

• eig: the pseudoeigenvalues

• rank: the rank of the analyzed matrice

• nf: the number of factors

• c1: the column normed scores

• co: the column coordinates

• li: the row coordinates

• call: the call function

• nb: the number of iterations for each axis

• rec: a data frame obtained by the reconstitution of the scaled data using the nf axes
