I would like to announce the availability of the 'nipals' package on CRAN, https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nipals/. The nipals package tries to do just one thing really well...find principal components of a matrix using Nonlinear Partial Least Squares. Missing values are allowed, the principal components are orthogonal, and the code has been heavily optimized. Details of the package can be found in a pair of vignettes: Comparing NIPALS functions in R https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nipals/vignettes/nipals_comparisons.html NIPALS optimization notes https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nipals/vignettes/nipals_optimization.html Please report any issues through the Github page: https://github.com/kwstat/nipals Kevin Wright -- Kevin Wright [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
