ComDim {MBAnalysis}

Common Dimensions analysis (ComDim)

Description

Performs ComDim analysis on a set of quantitative blocks of variables. ComDim can be viewed as a Multiblock Weighted Principal Components Analysis (MBWPCA)

Usage

ComDim(
  X,
  block,
  name.block,
  ncomp = NULL,
  scale = TRUE,
  scale.block = TRUE,
  threshold = 1e-08
)

Arguments

X

Dataset obtained by horizontally merging all the blocks of variables.

block

Vector indicating the number of variables in each block.

name.block

names of the blocks of variables (NULL by default).

ncomp

Number of dimensions to compute. By default (NULL), all the global components are extracted.

scale

Logical, if TRUE (by default) then variables are scaled to unit variance (all variables are centered anyway).

scale.block

Logical, if TRUE (by default) each block of variables is divided by the square root of its inertia (Frobenius norm).

threshold

Convergence threshold

Value

Returns a list of the following elements:

optimalcrit

Numeric vector of the optimal value of the criterion (sum of squared saliences) obtained for each dimension.

saliences

Matrix of the specific weights of each block of variables on the global components, for each dimension.

T.g

Matrix of normed global components.

Scor.g

Matrix of global components (scores of individuals).

W.g

Matrix of global weights (normed) associated with deflated X.

Load.g

Matrix of global loadings (normed).

Proj.g

Matrix of global projection (to compute scores from pretreated X).

explained.X

Matrix of percentages of inertia explained in each block of variables.

cumexplained

Matrix giving the percentages, and cumulative percentages, of total inertia of X blocks explained by the global components.

Block

A list containing block components (T.b) and block weights (W.b)
