Between class coinertia analysis

Description

Between class coinertia analysis. cia of 2 datasets where covariance between groups or classes of cases, rather than individual cases are maximised.

Usage

bet.coinertia(df1, df2, fac1, fac2, cia.nf = 2, type = "nsc", ...)

Arguments

df1 First dataset.A matrix, data.frame, exprSet or marrayRaw. If the input is gene expression data in a matrix or data.frame. The rows and columns are expected to contain the variables (genes) and cases (array samples) respectively.
df2 Second dataset. A matrix, data.frame, exprSet or marrayRaw. If the input is gene expression data in a matrix or data.frame. The rows and columns are expected to contain the variables (genes) and cases (array samples) respectively.
fac1 A factor or vector which describes the classes in df1
fac2 A factor or vector which describes the classes in df2
cia.nf Integer indicating the number of coinertia analysis axes to be saved. Default value is 2.
type A character string, accepted options are type="nsc" or type="pca"
... further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

A list of class bet.cia of length 5

coin An object of class 'coinertia', sub-class dudi. See coinertia
coa1, pca1 An object of class 'nsc' or 'pca', with sub-class 'dudi'. See dudi, dudi.pca or dudi.nsc
bet1 An object of class 'bga', with sub-class 'dudi'. See dudi, bga or between
bet2 An object of class 'bga', with sub-class 'dudi'. See dudi, bga or between.

Note

This is very computational intensive. The authors of ade4 are currently re-writing the code for coinertia analysis, so that it should substantially improve the computational requirements (May 2004).
