Package 'MaxSkew'

Title: Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness
Description: It finds Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness. The first data projection in the output is the most skewed among all linear data projections. The second data projection in the output is the most skewed among all data projections orthogonal to the first one, and so on.

Examples

## Example 1. Run MaxSkew on the iris data 
data(iris)
iris<-data.matrix(iris) #returns the matrix obtained by converting the data frame to numeric mode
MaxSkew(iris[,1:3],5,2,FALSE) # matrix whose columns are the two projections with maximal skewness
MaxSkew(iris[,1:2],5,1,FALSE) #projection with maximal skewness of the first two variables
#MaxSkewBiv(iris[,1],iris[,2]) #obtains the same of MaxSkew(iris[,1:2],5,1)

## Example 2. Run MaxSkew on the OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016 data 
data(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016)
OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_matrix<-data.matrix(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016) #returns a data matrix
MaxSkew(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_matrix[,4:13],10,2,TRUE) #it returns also the scatterplot
MaxSkew(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_matrix[,4:13],10,2,FALSE)#as in example 1

OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_projections<-MaxSkew(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_matrix[,4:13],10,2,FALSE)
plot(OLYMPIC_DECATHLON_2016_projections) #scatterplot of the first two projections

MaxSkewBiv: skewness-based projection pursuit for bivariate data

Description

Finds Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness for Bivariate Random Vectors

Usage

.MaxSkewBiv(x, y)

Arguments

x

it is a numerical variable

y

it is a numerical variable

Value

.projectionBIV

Vector of projected data when the original data are bivariate. The user can obtain it by writing ".projectionBIV", and he can obtain a scatterplot of the projection by writing plot(.projectionBIV).

MaxSkew: skewness-based projection pursuit

Description

Finds Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness

Usage

MaxSkew(data, iterations, components, plot)

Arguments

data

Data matrix where rows and columns represent units and variables.

iterations

It is a positive integer

components

Number of orthogonal projections maximizing skewness. It is a positive integer smaller than the number of variables.

plot

Dichotomous variable: TRUE/FALSE. If plot is set equal to TRUE (FALSE) the scatterplot appears (does not appear) in the output.

Value

projectionmatrix

Matrix of projected data. The i-th row represents the i-th unit, while the j-th column represents the j-th projection.

pairs(projectionmatrix[, 2:i], labels=values, main="Projections")

It is the multiple scatterplot of the projections maximizing skewness.

.projectionBIV

Vector of projected data when the original data are bivariate.The user can obtain a scatterplot of the projection by writing plot(.projectionBIV)
