E. Supervised multiblock analysis

library(multiblock)

Supervised methods

The following supervised methods are available in the multiblock package (function names in parentheses):

The following sections will describe how to format your data for analysis and invoke all methods from the list above.

Formatting data for multiblock analyses

Data blocks are best stored as named lists for use with the formula interface of R. The following is an example with sample data in one data block and one response block.

# Random data
n <- 30; p <- 90
X <- matrix(rnorm(n*p), nrow=n)
y <- X %*% rnorm(p) + 10

# Split X into three blocks in a named list
ABC <- list(A = X[,1:20], B = X[,21:50], C = X[,51:90], y = y)

# Model using names of blocks (see below for full SO-PLS example)
so.abc <- sopls(y ~ A + B + C, data = ABC, ncomp = c(4,3,4))

Multiblock Partial Least Squares - MB-PLS

Multiblock PLS is presented briefly using the potato data.

Modelling

A multi-response two-block MB-PLS model with up to 10 components in total is cross-validated with 10 random segments.

data(potato)
mb <- mbpls(X=potato[c('Chemical','Compression')], Y=potato[['Sensory']], ncomp=10,
            max_comps=10, validation="CV", segments=10)
print(mb)
#> Multiblock PLS 
#> 
#> Call:
#> mbpls(X = potato[c("Chemical", "Compression")], Y = potato[["Sensory"]],     ncomp = 10, max_comps = 10, validation = "CV", segments = 10)

Summaries and plotting

MB-PLS is implemented as a block-wise weighted concatenated ordinary PLSR. Therefore, all methods available for plsr are available for the global part of the MB-PL. In addition one can extrac blockScores and blockLoadings.

Tb1 <- scores(mb, block=1)
scoreplot(mb, block = 1, labels = "names")


Pb2 <- loadings(mb, block=2)
loadingplot(mb, block = 1, labels = "names")

Sparse Multiblock Partial Least Squares - sMB-PLS

Sparse MB-PLS is presented briefly using the potato data.

Modelling

A multi-response two-block sMB-PLS model with up to 10 components in total is cross-validated with 10 random segments. Here, the Soft-Threshold version is used (Truncation version also available) with parameter shrink = 0.6 which means the loading weights have 60% of the largest values subtracted before setting negative values to 0.

data(potato)
smb <- smbpls(X=potato[c('Chemical','Compression')], Y=potato[['Sensory']], ncomp = 10,
            max_comps=10, shrink = 0.6, validation="CV", segments=10)
print(smb)
#> Sparse Multiblock PLS (Soft-Threshold) 
#> 
#> Call:
#> smbpls(X = potato[c("Chemical", "Compression")], Y = potato[["Sensory"]],     ncomp = 10, shrink = 0.6, max_comps = 10, validation = "CV",     segments = 10)

Plotting

We demonstrate the effect of shrinkage on scores and sparseness in loading weights by plotting results for three values of the shrinkage parameter. In the loading weight plots we can follow the shrinkage toward the origin of each variable, while the score plots show the effect on the sample scores.

old.par <- par(mfrow = c(3,2), mar = c(3.5,3.5,1.5,1), mgp = c(2,1,0))
for(shrink in c(0.2, 0.5, 0.8)){
  smb <- smbpls(X=potato[c('Chemical','Compression')], Y=potato[['Sensory']], ncomp = 10,
            max_comps=10, shrink = shrink)
  scoreplot(smb, labels = "names", main = paste0("Superscores, shrink=", shrink))
  loadingweightplot(smb, labels = "names", main = paste0("Super-loading weights, shrink=", shrink))
}

par(old.par)

Sequential and orthogonalised PLS - SO-PLS

The following example uses the potato data to showcase some of the functions available for SO-PLS analyses.

Modelling

A multi-response two-block SO-PLS model with up to 10 components in total is cross-validated with 10 random segments.

# Load potato data and fit SO-PLS model
so.pot <- sopls(Sensory ~ Chemical + Compression, data=potato, 
            ncomp=c(10,10), max_comps=10, validation="CV", segments=10)
print(so.pot)
#> Sequential and Orthogonalized Partial Least Squares, fitted with the PKPLS algorithm.
#> Cross-validated using 10 random segments.
#> Call:
#> sopls(formula = Sensory ~ Chemical + Compression, ncomp = c(10,     10), max_comps = 10, data = potato, validation = "CV", segments = 10)
summary(so.pot)

Måge plot

A full Måge plot for all combinations of components for all blocks is produced. This can be used for a global search for the best fitting cross-validated model.

Each point in the figure below is accompanied by a sequence of four numbers referring to the number of components used for each of the four blocks. Horizontal location is given by the total number of components used across all blocks, while vertical location indicates validated explained variance in percentage.

# Load Wine data and model with SO-PLS
data(wine)
ncomp <- unlist(lapply(wine, ncol))[-5]
so.wine <- sopls(`Global quality` ~ ., data=wine, ncomp=ncomp, 
             max_comps=6, validation="CV", segments=10)
maage(so.wine)

A sequential Måge plot can be used for a sequential search for the optimal model.

# Sequential search for optimal number of components per block
old.par <- par(mfrow=c(2,2), mar=c(3,3,0.5,1), mgp=c(2,0.7,0))
maageSeq(so.wine)
maageSeq(so.wine, 2)
maageSeq(so.wine, c(2,1))
maageSeq(so.wine, c(2,1,1))

Loadings

One set of loadings is printed and two sets are plotted to show how to select specific components from specific blocks. When extracting or plotting loadings for the second or later blocks, one must specify how many components have been used in the previous block(s) (ncomp) as this will affect the choice of loadings. In addition one can specify which components in the current block should be extracted (comps).

Principal Components of Predictions

A PCA is computed from the cross-validated predictions to get an overview of the SO-PLS model across all involved blocks. The blocks are projected onto the scores to form block-loadings to see how these relate to the solution.

Parallel and Orthgonalised Partial Least Squares - PO-PLS

PO-PLS is presented briefly using the potato data. It is a method for separating predictive information into common, local and distinct parts.

Modelling

There are many choices with regard to numbers of components and possible local and common components. Using automatic selection, the user selects the highest number of blocks to combine into local/common components, minimum explained variance and minimum squared correlation to the response. Manual selection can be done by setting the number of initial components from the blocks and maximum number of local/common components.

# Automatic analysis
pot.po.auto <- popls(potato[1:3], potato[['Sensory']][,1], commons = 2)
#> Warning in gca.svd(X = X, tol = tol, ncomp = ncomp): 'ncomp' reduced due to low
#> singular value for block 1

Scores and loadings

Scores and loadings are stored per block. Common scores/loadings are found in each of the blocks’ list of components.

# Score plot for local (2,3) components
scoreplot(pot.po.man, block = 3, labels = "names")


# Corresponding loadings
loadingplot(pot.po.man, block = 3, labels="names", scatter = FALSE)

Response Oriented Sequential Alternation - ROSA

The following example uses the potato data to showcase some of the functions available for ROSA analyses.

Modelling

A multi-response two-block ROSA model with up to 10 components in total is cross-validated with 10 random segments.

# Model all eight potato blocks with ROSA
ros.pot <- rosa(Sensory ~ ., data = potato1, ncomp = 10, validation = "CV", segments = 5)
print(ros.pot)
#> Response Orinented Sequential Alternation , fitted with the CPPLS algorithm.

Image plots

These are plots for evaluation of the block selection process in ROSA. Correlation plots show how the different candidate scores (one candidate for each block for each component) correlate to the winning block’s scores. Residual response plots show how different choices of candidate scores would affect the RMSE of the residual response. One can for instance use these plots to decide on a different block selection order than the one proposed automatically by ROSA.

# Correlation to winning scores
image(ros.pot)

# Residual response given candidate scores
image(ros.pot, "residual")

Multiblock Redundancy Analysis - mbRDA

The following example uses the potato data to showcase some of the functions available for mbRDA analyses.

Modelling

This implementation uses a wrapper for the mbpcaiv function in the ade4 package to perform mbRDA. A multi-response 5 component model is fitted.

# Convert data.frame with AsIs objects to list of matrices
potatoList <- lapply(potato, unclass)

# Perform mbRDA with two blocks explaining sensory attributes
mbr <- mbrda(X = potatoList[c('Chemical','Compression')], Y = potatoList[['Sensory']], ncomp = 5)
print(mbr)
#> Multiblock RDA 
#> 
#> Call:
#> mbrda(X = potatoList[c("Chemical", "Compression")], Y = potatoList[["Sensory"]],     ncomp = 5)

Loadings and scores

The mbpcaiv wrapper extracts key elements for inspection using the same format as the rest of this package. The full fitted mbpcaiv object is also available, e.g. through mbr$mbpcaivObject.

# Extract and view loadings
lo_mbr <- loadings(mbr)
#> Warning in loadings.multiblock(mbr): No global/consensus loadings available.
#> Returning block 1 loadings.
print(head(lo_mbr))
