DISCOsca {multiblock}

DISCO-SCA rotation.

Description

A DISCO-SCA procedure for identifying common and distinctive components. The code is adapted from the orphaned RegularizedSCA package by Zhengguo Gu.

Usage

DISCOsca(DATA, R, Jk)

Arguments

DATA

A matrix, which contains the concatenated data with the same subjects from multiple blocks. Note that each row represents a subject.

R

Number of components (R>=2).

Jk

A vector containing number of variables in the concatenated data matrix.

Value

Trot_best

Estimated component score matrix (i.e., T)

Prot_best

Estimated component loading matrix (i.e., P)

comdist

A matrix representing common distinctive components. (Rows are data blocks and columns are components.) 0 in the matrix indicating that the corresponding component of that block is estimated to be zeros, and 1 indicates that (at least one component loading in) the corresponding component of that block is not zero. Thus, if a column in the comdist matrix contains only 1's, then this column is a common component, otherwise distinctive component.

propExp_component

Proportion of variance per component.
