Statistical F‐tests for abstract factor analysis and target testing

Abstract: SUMMARYFisher variance ratio tests are developed for determining (1) the number of statisticaliy significant abstract factors responsible for a data matrix and (2) the significance of target vectors projected into the abstract factor space. F-tests, developed from the viewpoint of vector distributions, are applied to various data sets taken from the chemical literature.

“…PCA was performed on X to determine the chemical rank and to further visualize the relationships between the samples. Six principal components (PCs) were found to be optimal according to a Malinowski F-test [15], and the score plot for PC1 versus PC2 (Figure 3) separated the samples into the different classes (i.e., the different LDHs). It can also be seen that the amino acid sequence similarity between LDH rabbit and hog muscle is reflected by a short distance between these two classes in the score plot.…”

“…Typically the fraction chosen is at least 90%; we use ε = 0.01 in the results shown below. The Malinowski's F-test [18] was introduced in the chemometrics literature to differentiate between significant and noise eigenvectors in PCA. The sum of the eigenvalues p j=1 λ j can be decomposed into pieces representing significant and noise eigenvalues, with the number of significant eigenvalues providing an estimate of the number of pure components.…”

“…The optimum number of PCs was chosen as the minimum PC number where adding an additional PC did not yield a statistically significant decrease in the standard error of the model predictions. This was determined by Malinowski's Ftest [20]. Malinowski's F-test assumes that the sum of the eigenvalues can be decomposed into either parts which are significant or noise, and that the significant eigenvalues provide an estimate of the true number of principal components needed.…”
