Description:

Linear mappings are omnipresent in data processing analysis ranging from regression to distance metric learning. The interpretation of coefficients from under-determined mappings raises an unexpected challenge when the original modeling goal does not impose regularization. The RegLin package implements a general posterior regularization strategy for inducing unique results.

The benefits are: <1> reflection of data properties such as smoothness in spectrum profiles, <2> easier interpretation of regularized mapping coefficients, and <3> potentially improved mapping quality for unseen test data, i.e. better generalization.

The package also includes a function for standardizing the mapping coefficient vectors by projection to eigenvectors, and an attribute assessment strategy based on sensitivity analysis of the coefficient vectors - these two methods do not require under-determined systems.

The package contains example cases using pinv() and an external linear model (correlative matrix mapping CMM @ mloss.org) for colon cancer gene expression data and for a data base containing near-infrared spectral profiles. See Readme.txt contained in the package.
