R: Test Data Generation for Sparse PCA examples

data.Zou {pcaPP} | R Documentation

## Test Data Generation for Sparse PCA examples

### Description

Draws a sample data set, as introduced by Zou et al. (2006).

### Usage

    data.Zou (n = 250, p =  c(4, 4, 2), ...)

### Arguments

`n` | The required number of observations.
`p` | A vector of length 3, specifying how many variables shall be constructed using the three factors V1, V2 and V3.
`...` | Further arguments passed to or from other functions.

### Details

This data set has been introduced by Zou et al. (2006), and then been referred to several times, e.g. by Farcomeni (2009), Guo et al. (2010) and Croux et al. (2011).

The data set contains two latent factors V1 ~ N(0, 290) and V2 ~ N(0, 300) and a third mixed component V3 = -0.3 V1 + 0.925V2 + e; e ~ N(0, 1).
The ten variables Xi of the original data set are constructed the following way:
Xi = V1 + ei; i = 1, 2, 3, 4
Xi = V2 + ei; i = 5, 6, 7, 8
Xi = V3 + ei; i = 9, 10
whereas ei ~ N(0, 1) is indepependent for i = 1 , ..., 10

### Value

A matrix of dimension `n x sum (p)` containing the generated sample data set.

### Examples

                       ##  data generation
      set.seed (0)
      x <- data.Zou ()

                       ##  applying PCA
      pc <-  princomp (x)
                       ##  the corresponding non-sparse loadings
      unclass (pc$load[,1:3])
      pc$sdev[1:3]

                       ##  lambda as calculated in the opt.TPO - example
      lambda <- c (0.23, 0.34, 0.005)
                       ##  applying sparse PCA
      spc <- sPCAgrid (x, k = 3, lambda = lambda, method = "sd")
      unclass (spc$load)
      spc$sdev[1:3]

                       ## comparing the non-sparse and sparse biplot
      par (mfrow = 1:2)
      biplot (pc, main = "non-sparse PCs")
      biplot (spc, main = "sparse PCs")
