rrcov3way: Robust Methods for Multiway Data Analysis

Installation

The rrcov3way package is on CRAN (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) and the latest release can be easily installed using the command

Building from source

To install the latest stable development version from GitHub, you can pull this repository and install it using

Of course, if you have already installed remotes, you can skip the first line (I have commented it out).

Example

This is a simple example which shows you basic functions of the package using the OECD elind data set. The data consist of specialization indices of electronics industries of 23 European countries for the years 1973-1979. The specialization index is defined as the proportion of the monetary value of an electronic industry compared to the total export value of manufactured goods of a country compared to the similar proportion for the world as a whole.


## Load the package 'rrcov3way' and the data set
##  to be used in the examples:
##
## OECD Electronics Industries Data - Kroonenberg PM (2008)
##  23 countries x 6 industries x 7 years
library(rrcov3way)
#> Robust Methods for Multiway Data Analysis, Applicable also for
#> Compositional Data (version 0.2-5)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'rrcov3way'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
#> 
#>     reorder
data(elind)
dim(elind)
#> [1] 23  6  7

##  The frontal slices (mode C) are matrices with dimension 23x6, 
##  representing the data for all countries and all industries 
##  in one year. The labels are:
rownames(elind[,,1])
#>  [1] "CA" "US" "JP" "AS" "NZ" "BL" "DA" "FR" "RF" "GR" "IR" "IT" "PB" "RU" "AU"
#> [16] "FI" "NO" "PO" "SP" "SV" "CH" "TU" "YU"
colnames(elind[,,1])
#> [1] "INFO" "RADI" "TELE" "STRU" "ELET" "COMP"

##  The lateral slices (mode B) represent the data
##  for all countries and years for one industry
##  - matrices with dimension 23 x 7 and the labels are:
rownames(elind[,1,])
#>  [1] "CA" "US" "JP" "AS" "NZ" "BL" "DA" "FR" "RF" "GR" "IR" "IT" "PB" "RU" "AU"
#> [16] "FI" "NO" "PO" "SP" "SV" "CH" "TU" "YU"
colnames(elind[,1,])
#> [1] "78" "79" "80" "82" "83" "84" "85"

##  First of all we center and scale the data, using the default procedures 
##  for centering and scaling.

elind <- do3Scale(elind, center=TRUE, scale=TRUE)

##  Next we perform classical PARAFAC analysis 
##  with the default number of components (ncomp=2).

## default PARAFAC, non-robust, no ilr transformation,
##  extract 3 components
res <- Parafac(elind, ncomp=3)
res
#> Call:
#> Parafac(X = elind, ncomp = 3)
#> 
#> 
#> PARAFAC analysis with  3  components.
#> Fit value: 2.522052 
#> Fit percentage: 57.97 %
