The function pca.ridge transforms a ridge object from parameter space, where the estimated coefficients are \(\beta_k\) with covariance matrices \(\Sigma_k\), to the principal component space defined by the right singular vectors, \(V\), of the singular value decomposition of the scaled predictor matrix, \(X\).

In this space, the transformed coefficients are \(V \beta_k\), with covariance matrices $$V \Sigma_k V^T$$.

This transformation provides alternative views of ridge estimates in low-rank approximations. In particular, it allows one to see where the effects of collinearity typically reside --- in the smallest PCA dimensions.

Usage

pca(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A ridge object, as fit by ridge

...

Other arguments passed down. Not presently used in this implementation.

Value

An object of class c("ridge", "pcaridge"), with the same components as the original ridge object.
