prismaNMF {PRISMA}

Matrix Factorization Based on Replicate-Aware NMF

Description

Matrix factorization A = B C with strictly positiv matrices B, C which minimize the reconstruction error \|A - B C\|. This replicate-aware version of the non-negtive matrix factorization (NMF) is based on the alternating least squares approach and exploits the replicate information to speed up the calculation.

Usage

prismaNMF(prismaData, ncomp, time = 60, pca.init = TRUE, doNorm = TRUE, oldResult = NULL)

Arguments

prismaData

PRISMA data for which a NMF should be calculated.

ncomp

either an integer or prismaDimension object specifying the inner dimension of the matrix factorization.

time

seconds after which the calculation should end.

pca.init

should the B matrix be initialized by a PCA.

doNorm

should the B matrix normalized (i.e. all columns have the Euclidean length of 1).

oldResult

re-use results of a previous run, i.e. B and C are pre-initialized with the values of this previous matrix factorization object.

Value

prismaNMF

Matrix factorization object containing the B and C matrix.
