smacofRect {smacof}R Documentation

Rectangular smacof

Description

Variant of smacof for rectangular matrices (typically ratings, preferences) which is also known as metric unfolding.

Usage

smacofRect(delta, ndim = 2, weightmat = NULL, init = NULL, verbose = FALSE,
           itmax = 1000, reg = 1e-6, eps = 1e-6)

Arguments

delta

Data frame or matrix of preferences, ratings, dissimilarities.

ndim

Number of dimensions

weightmat

Optional matrix with dissimilarity weights

init

Matrix with starting values for configurations (optional)

verbose

If TRUE, intermediate stress is printed out

itmax

Maximum number of iterations

reg

Regularization factor, prevents distances from being 0

eps

Convergence criterion

Details

Creates an object of class smacofR.

Value

obsdiss

Observed dissimilarities, corresponds to delta

confdiss

Configuration dissimilarities

conf.row

Matrix of final row configurations

conf.col

Matrix of final column configurations

stress

Final stress value

spp.row

Stress per point, rows

spp.col

Stress per point, columns

ndim

Number of dimensions

model

Type of smacof model

niter

Number of iterations

nind

Number of individuals (rows)

nobj
