Get the optimal ncomp value — diablo_get_optim

Selects the optimal comp value (number of components to compute) from a DIABLO cross-validation run, for a given error measure and distance metric.

Usage

diablo_get_optim_ncomp(
  perf_res,
  measure = "Overall.BER",
  distance = "centroids.dist",
  min_ncomp = 1
)

perf_res: The cross-validation results, computed with perf.
measure: The error measure for which to obtain the optimal value; possible values are 'Overall.ER' and 'Overall.BER'. Default value is 'Overall.BER'.
distance: The distance metric for which to obtain the optimal value; possible values are 'max.dist', 'centroids.dist' and 'mahalanobis.dist'. Default value is 'centroids.dist'.
min_ncomp: Integer, the minimum ncomp value to be returned. Default value is 1, i.e. this argument does not play a role in selecting the comp value. Can be useful if we want at least 2 latent components for final plots.

An integer, the optimal value of ncomp to use for the DIABLO run.
