R: Maximize Correlation with the Axes

maximize_correlation,dimRedResult-method {dimRed} | R Documentation

## Maximize Correlation with the Axes

### Description

Rotates the data in such a way that the correlation with the first `naxes` axes is maximized.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'dimRedResult'
    maximize_correlation(object,
      naxes = ncol(object@data@data), cor_method = "pearson")

### Arguments

`object` | A dimRedResult object
`naxes` | the number of axes to optimize for.
`cor_method` | which correlation method to use

### Details

Methods that do not use eigenvector decomposition, like t-SNE often do not align the data with axes according to the correlation of variables with the data. `maximize_correlation` uses the `optimx` package to rotate the data in such a way that the original variables have maximum correlation with the embedding axes.
