Kernel discriminant analysis for multivariate data

Description

Kernel discriminant analysis for 1- to 6-dimensional data.

Usage

kda(x, x.group, Hs, hs, y, prior.prob=NULL)

Hkda(x, x.group, Hstart, bw="plugin", nstage=2, pilot="samse",
     pre="sphere", binned=FALSE, bgridsize)
Hkda.diag(x, x.group, bw="plugin", nstage=2, pilot="samse", 
     pre="sphere", binned=FALSE, bgridsize)

Arguments

x matrix of training data values
x.group vector of group labels for training data
y matrix of test data
Hs (stacked) matrix of bandwidth matrices
hs vector of scalar bandwidths
prior.prob vector of prior probabilities
bw bandwidth: "plugin" = plug-in, "lscv" = LSCV, "scv" = SCV
nstage number of stages in the plug-in bandwidth selector (1 or 2)
pilot "amse" = AMSE pilot bandwidths, "samse" = single SAMSE pilot bandwidth
pre "scale" = pre-scaling, "sphere" = pre-sphering
Hstart (stacked) matrix of initial bandwidth matrices, used in numerical optimisation
binned flag for binned kernel estimation
bgridsize vector of binning grid sizes - required only if binned=TRUE

Details

– If you have prior probabilities then set prior.prob to these. Otherwise prior.prob=NULL is the default i.e. use the sample proportions as estimates of the prior probabilities.

– The values that valid for bw are "plugin", "lscv" and "scv" for Hkda. These in turn call Hpi, Hlscv and Hscv. For plugin selectors, all of nstage, pilot and pre need to be set. For SCV selectors, currently nstage=1 always but pilot and pre need to be set. For LSCV selectors, none of them are required.

For Hkda.diag, options are "plugin" or "lscv" which in turn call respectively Hpi.diag and Hlscv.diag. Again, nstage, pilot and pre are available for Hpi.diag but not required for Hlscv.diag.

For d = 1, 2, 3, 4, and if eval.points is not specified, then the density estimate is computed over a grid defined by gridsize (if binned=FALSE) or by bgridsize (if binned=TRUE).

For d = 1, 2, 3, 4, and if eval.points is specified, then the density estimate is computed exactly at eval.points.

For d > 4, the kernel density estimate is computed exactly and eval.points must be specified.

For details on the pre-transformations in pre, see pre.sphere and pre.scale.

Value

– The result from kda is a vector of group labels estimated via the kernel discriminant rule. If the test data y are given then these are classified. Otherwise the training data x are classified.
– The result from Hkda and Hkda.diag is a stacked matrix of bandwidth matrices, one for each training data group.
