Penalized Multivariate Analysis

Description

This package is called PMA, for __P__enalized __M__ultivariate __A__nalysis. It implements three methods: A penalized matrix decomposition, sparse principal components analysis, and sparse canonical correlations analysis. All are described in the reference below. The main functions are: PMD, CCA and SPC.

Details

The first, PMD, performs a penalized matrix decomposition. CCA performs sparse canonical correlation analysis. SPC performs sparse principal components analysis.

There also are cross-validation functions for tuning parameter selection for each of the above methods: SPC.cv, PMD.cv, CCA.permute. And PlotCGH produces nice plots for DNA copy number data.
