Additive log ratio transformation

Description

Aitchison's additive log ratio tranformation for compositional data

Usage

alr(form, data, group = NULL)

Arguments

form

a formula which specifies the denominator variable as the response

data

a data frame in which the data is stored

group

if not NULL then a character string specifying the name of the grouping variable

Details

This function will give a warning if zeros are present because the transformed data will have -Infs.

Value

a data frame with the ALR transformation applied to data. Each row in the data frame is standardized with respect to a specific variable by dividing by that variable. The logarithms of the resulting ratios are returned. If a grouping variable is specified, then this is preserved.

Bottle data

Description

This data contains the elemental concentration of five different elements (Manganese, Barium, Strontium, Zirconium, and Titanium) in samples of glass taken from six different Heineken beer bottles. 20 measurements were taken from each bottle.

Centered log ratio transformation

Description

Aitchison's centered log ratio tranformation for compositional data

Usage

clr(data, group = NULL)

Arguments

data

a data frame in which the data is stored

group

if not NULL then a character string specifying the name of the grouping variable

Details

This function will give a warning if zeros are present because the transformed data will have -Infs.

Value

a data frame with the CLR transformation applied to data. Each row in the data frame is standardized by dividing by the geometric mean of that row. The logarithms of the resulting ratios are returned. If a grouping variable is specified, then this is preserved.

Calculate Hotelling's two sample T-squared test statistic

Description

Calculate Hotelling's T-squared test statistic for the difference in two multivariate means.

Usage

hotelling.stat(x, y, shrinkage = FALSE, var.equal = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a nx by p matrix containing the data points from sample 1 or a list containing elements mean, cov, and n where mean is a mean vector of length p, cov is a variance-covariance matrix of dimension p by p, and n is the sample size

y

a ny by p matrix containg the data points from sample 2 or a list containing elements mean, cov, and n where mean is a mean vector of length p, cov is a variance-covariance matrix of dimension p by p, and n is the sample size

shrinkage

set to TRUE if the covariance matrices are to be estimated using Schaefer and Strimmer's James-Stein shrinkage estimator. Note this only works when raw data is supplied, and will not work if summary statistics are supplied.

var.equal

set to TRUE if the covariance matrices are (assumed to be) equal

Details

Note, the sample size requirements are that nx + ny - 1 > p. The procedure will stop if this is not met and the shrinkage estimator is not being used. The shrinkage estimator has not been rigorously tested for this application (small p, smaller n).

Value

A list containing the following components:

statistic

Hotelling's (unscaled) T-squared statistic

m

The scaling factor - this can be used by by multiplying it with the test statistic, or dividing the critical F value

df

a vector of length containing the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom

nx

The sample size of sample 1

ny

The sample size of sample 2

p

The number of variables to be used in the comparison

Two-sample Hotelling's T-squared test

Description

Performs a two-sample Hotelling's T-squared test for the difference in two multivariate means

Usage

hotelling.test(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
hotelling.test(
  x,
  y,
  shrinkage = FALSE,
  var.equal = TRUE,
  perm = FALSE,
  B = 10000,
  progBar = (perm && TRUE),
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
hotelling.test(x, data = NULL, pair = c(1, 2), ...)

Arguments

x

a matrix containing the data points from sample 1, or a formula specifying the elements to be used as a response and the grouping variable as a predictor, or a list containing elements mean, cov, and n where mean is a mean vector of length p, cov is a variance-covariance matrix of dimension p by p, and n is the sample size

...

any additional arguments. This is useful to pass the optional arguments for the default call from the formula version

y

a matrix containing the data points from sample 2, or a list containing elements mean, cov, and n where mean is a mean vector of length p, cov is a variance-covariance matrix of dimension p by p, and n is the sample size

shrinkage

if TRUE then Shaefer and Strimmer's James-Stein shrinkage estimator is used to calculate the sample covariance matrices

var.equal

set to TRUE if the covariance matrices are (assumed to be) equal

perm

if TRUE then permutation testing is used to estimate the non-parametric P-value for the hypothesis test

B

if perm is TRUE, then B is the number of permutations to perform

progBar

if TRUE and perm is TRUE then a progress bar will be displayed whilst the permutation procedure is carried out

data

a data frame needs to be specified if a formula is to be used to perform the test

pair

a vector of length two which can be used when the grouping factor has more than two levels to select different pairs of groups. For example for a 3-level factor, pairs could be set to c(1,3) to perform Hotelling's test between groups 1 an 3

Value

A list (which is also of class 'hotelling.test') with the following elements:

stats

a list containing all of the output from hotelling.stat

pval

the P-value from the test

results

if perm == TRUE, then all of the permuation test statisics are stored in results

Methods (by class)

  • default: Two-sample Hotelling's T-squared test

  • formula: Two-sample Hotelling's T-squared test

Plots the results from a permutation based version of Hotelling's T-squared test for the difference in two multivariate sample means

Description

Plots a histogram of the distribution of the permuted test statistics for a permutation version of Hotelling's T-squared

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hotelling.test'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of type hotelling.test

...

any additional arguments to be passed to the hist command

Details

This function only works if you have performed a permutation test. It will return an error message if not. It could be programmed to draw the relevant F distribution in the standard case, but this seems rather pointless.

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
summarise(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

a matrix of multivariate observations, a list of summary statistics from multivariate observations, a data.frame of multivariate observations, or a formula with a multivariate response on the right hand side, and a grouping variable/factor on the left hand side.

y

stats

a named list of summary statistics to compute on each variable in each group. Note 1: Quantiles are not supported yet because I can't think of a good way to handle the extra arguments. Help welcome. Note 2: The names of the elements in the list are used to label the columns of the output. They probably should be unique.
