Given \(N\) observations \(X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_N \in \mathcal{M}\), apply multidimensional scaling to get low-dimensional embedding in Euclidean space. Usually, ndim=2,3 are chosen for visualization.

Usage

riem.mds(riemobj, ndim = 2, geometry = c("intrinsic", "extrinsic"))

Arguments

riemobj

a S3 "riemdata" class for \(N\) manifold-valued data.

ndim

an integer-valued target dimension (default: 2).

geometry

(case-insensitive) name of geometry; either geodesic ("intrinsic") or embedded ("extrinsic") geometry.

Value

a named list containing

embed

an \((N\times ndim)\) matrix whose rows are embedded observations.

stress

discrepancy between embedded and original distances as a measure of error.

## GENERATE DATA
mydata = list()
for (i in 1:10){
  tgt = c(1, stats::rnorm(2, sd=0.1))
  mydata[[i]] = tgt/sqrt(sum(tgt^2))
}
for (i in 11:20){
  tgt = c(rnorm(1,sd=0.1),1,rnorm(1,sd=0.1))
  mydata[[i]] = tgt/sqrt(sum(tgt^2))
}
for (i in 21:30){
  tgt = c(stats::rnorm(2, sd=0.1), 1)
  mydata[[i]] = tgt/sqrt(sum(tgt^2))
}
myriem = wrap.sphere(mydata)
mylabs = rep(c(1,2,3), each=10)

## MDS EMBEDDING WITH TWO GEOMETRIES
embed2int = riem.mds(myriem, geometry="intrinsic")$embed
embed2ext = riem.mds(myriem, geometry="extrinsic")$embed

## VISUALIZE
opar = par(no.readonly=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(1,2), pty="s")
plot(embed2int, main="intrinsic MDS", ylim=c(-2,2), col=mylabs, pch=19)
plot(embed2ext, main="extrinsic MDS", ylim=c(-2,2), col=mylabs, pch=19)
