Given \(N\) observations \(X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_N \in \mathcal{M}\), Principal Geodesic Analysis (PGA) finds a low-dimensional embedding by decomposing 2nd-order information in tangent space at an intrinsic mean of the data.

Usage

riem.pga(riemobj, ndim = 2)

Arguments

riemobj

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

ndim

an integer-valued target dimension.

Value

a named list containing

center

an intrinsic mean in a matrix representation form.

embed

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

## 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)

## EMBEDDING WITH MDS AND PGA
embed2mds = riem.mds(myriem, ndim=2, geometry="intrinsic")$embed
embed2pga = riem.pga(myriem, ndim=2)$embed

## VISUALIZE
