Compare cross decomposition methods#

Simple usage of various cross decomposition algorithms:

PLSCanonical
PLSRegression, with multivariate response, a.k.a. PLS2
PLSRegression, with univariate response, a.k.a. PLS1
CCA

Given 2 multivariate covarying two-dimensional datasets, X, and Y, PLS extracts the ‘directions of covariance’, i.e. the components of each datasets that explain the most shared variance between both datasets. This is apparent on the scatterplot matrix display: components 1 in dataset X and dataset Y are maximally correlated (points lie around the first diagonal). This is also true for components 2 in both dataset, however, the correlation across datasets for different components is weak: the point cloud is very spherical.

Dataset based latent variables model#

import numpy as np

n = 500
# 2 latents vars:
l1 = np.random.normal(size=n)
l2 = np.random.normal(size=n)

latents = np.array([l1, l1, l2, l2]).T
X = latents + np.random.normal(size=4 * n).reshape((n, 4))
Y = latents + np.random.normal(size=4 * n).reshape((n, 4))

X_train = X[: n // 2]
Y_train = Y[: n // 2]
X_test = X[n // 2 :]
Y_test = Y[n // 2 :]

print("Corr(X)")
print(np.round(np.corrcoef(X.T), 2))
print("Corr(Y)")
print(np.round(np.corrcoef(Y.T), 2))

Corr(X)
[[ 1.    0.45 -0.04  0.  ]
 [ 0.45  1.   -0.1  -0.02]
 [-0.04 -0.1   1.    0.42]
 [ 0.   -0.02  0.42  1.  ]]
Corr(Y)
[[ 1.    0.48 -0.12 -0.05]
 [ 0.48  1.    0.07  0.04]
 [-0.12  0.07  1.    0.5 ]
 [-0.05  0.04  0.5   1.  ]]

Canonical (symmetric) PLS#

Transform data#

from sklearn.cross_decomposition import PLSCanonical

plsca = PLSCanonical(n_components=2)
plsca.fit(X_train, Y_train)
X_train_r, Y_train_r = plsca.transform(X_train, Y_train)
X_test_r, Y_test_r = plsca.transform(X_test, Y_test)
