Partial Least Squares Regression for tidyfit

Fits a partial least squares regression on a 'tidyFit' R6 class. The function can be used with regress.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'plsr'
.fit(self, data = NULL)

Arguments

self: a 'tidyFit' R6 class.
data: a data frame, data frame extension (e.g. a tibble), or a lazy data frame (e.g. from dbplyr or dtplyr).

Value

A fitted 'tidyFit' class model.

Details

Hyperparameters:

ncomp (number of components)
ncomp_pct (number of components, percentage of features)

Important method arguments (passed to m)

The partial least squares regression is fitted using pls package. See ?plsr for more details.

Implementation

Covariates are standardized, with coefficients back-transformed to the original scale. An intercept is always included.

If no hyperparameter grid is passed (is.null(control$ncomp) & is.null(control$ncomp_pct)), the default is ncomp_pct = seq(0, 1, length.out = 20), where 0 results in one component and 1 results in the number of features.

When 'jackknife = TRUE' is passed (and a 'validation' method is chosen), coef also returns the jack-knife standard errors, t-statistics and p-values.

Note that at present pls does not offer weighted implementations or non-gaussian response. The method can therefore only be used with regress
