R Packages

I’m involved in the following R packages which are all available on CRAN and which can be directly installed in R after choosing a mirror using the command:

install.packages(“pkg_name”,dependencies=”Depends”)

ICSClust

Tandem Clustering with Invariant Coordinate Selection

Implementation of tandem clustering with invariant coordinate selection with different scatter matrices and several choices for the selection of components.

SpaceTimeBSS

Blind source separation for multivariate spatio-temporal data

Simultaneous/joint diagonalization of local autocovariance matrices to estimate spatio-temporally uncorrelated random fields.

ssaBSS

Stationary subspace analysis

Stationary subspace analysis (SSA) is a blind source separation (BSS) variant where stationary components are separated from non-stationary components. Several SSA methods for multivariate time series are provided here along with functions to simulate time series with time-varying variance and autocovariance.

shapeNA

M-Estimation of Shape for Data with Missing Values

M-estimators of location and shape following the power family are provided in the case of complete data and also when observations have missing values together with functions aiding their visualization.

BSSprep

Whitening Data as Preparation for Blind Source Separation

Whitening is the first step of almost all blind source separation (BSS) methods. A fast implementation of whitening for BSS is implemented to serve as a lightweight dependency for packages providing BSS methods.

KernelICA

Kernel Independent Component Analysis

The kernel independent component analysis (kernel ICA) method as introduced by Bach and Jordan (2003). The incomplete Cholesky decomposition used in kernel ICA is provided as separate function.

REPPlabShiny

‘REPPlab’  Via a Shiny Application.

Performs exploratory projection pursuit via ‘REPPlab’  using a Shiny app.

SpatialBSS

Blind Source Separation for Multivariate Spatial Data

Perform blind source separation for multivariate spatial data based on simultaneous/joint diagonalization of local covariance matrices.

ICSOutlier

Outlier Detection Using Invariant Coordinate Selection

Multivariate outlier detection is performed using invariant coordinates where the package offers different methods to choose the appropriate components.

ICtest

Estimating and Testing the Number of Interesting Components in Linear Dimension Reduction

For different linear dimension reduction methods like principal components analysis (PCA), independent components analysis (ICA) and supervised linear dimension reduction tests and estimates for the number of interesting components (ICs) are provided.

Functions to compute the asymptotic covariance matrices of mixing and unmixing matrix estimates of the following blind source separation (BSS) methods: symmetric and squared symmetric FastICA, regular and adaptive deflation-based FastICA, FOBI, JADE, AMUSE and deflation-based and symmetric SOBI. Also functions to estimate these covariances based on data are available.

JADE

Blind Source Separation Methods Based on Joint Diagonalization and Some BSS Performance Criteria

Cardoso’s JADE algorithm as well as his functions for joint diagonalization are ported to R. Also several other blind source separation (BSS) methods, like AMUSE and SOBI, and some criteria for performance evaluation of BSS algorithms, are given.

fastM

Fast Computation of Multivariate M-estimators

The package implements the new algorithm for fast computation of M-scatter matrices using a partial Newton-Raphson procedure for several estimators.

The new algorithms are described in detail in Dümbgen, L., Nordhausen, K. and Schuhmacher, H. (2016): New Algorithms for M-estimation of Multivariate Location and Scatter. Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 144, 200-217.

LDRTools
