      • getPartialCorrelations

        public double[] getPartialCorrelations​(int in)
        In the original algorithm only the partial correlations of the regressors is returned to the user. In this implementation, we have
         corr =
         {
           corrxx - lower triangular
           corrxy - bottom row of the matrix
         }
         Replaces subroutines PCORR and COR of:
         ALGORITHM AS274  APPL. STATIST. (1992) VOL.41, NO. 2 

        Calculate partial correlations after the variables in rows 1, 2, ..., IN have been forced into the regression. If IN = 1, and the first row of R represents a constant in the model, then the usual simple correlations are returned.

        If IN = 0, the value returned in array CORMAT for the correlation of variables Xi & Xj is:

         sum ( Xi.Xj ) / Sqrt ( sum (Xi^2) . sum (Xj^2) )

        On return, array CORMAT contains the upper triangle of the matrix of partial correlations stored by rows, excluding the 1's on the diagonal. e.g. if IN = 2, the consecutive elements returned are: (3,4) (3,5) ... (3,ncol), (4,5) (4,6) ... (4,ncol), etc. Array YCORR stores the partial correlations with the Y-variable starting with YCORR(IN+1) = partial correlation with the variable in position (IN+1).

        Parameters:
        in - how many of the regressors to include (either in canonical order, or in the current reordered state)
        Returns:
        an array with the partial correlations of the remainder of regressors with each other and the regressand, in lower triangular form
      • getDiagonalOfHatMatrix

        public double getDiagonalOfHatMatrix​(double[] rowData)
        Gets the diagonal of the Hat matrix also known as the leverage matrix.
        Parameters:
        rowData - returns the diagonal of the hat matrix for this observation
        Returns:
        the diagonal element of the hatmatrix
      • getOrderOfRegressors

        public int[] getOrderOfRegressors()
        Gets the order of the regressors, useful if some type of reordering has been called. Calling regress with int[]{} args will trigger a reordering.
        Returns:
        int[] with the current order of the regressors
      • regress

        public RegressionResults regress​(int numberOfRegressors)
                                  throws ModelSpecificationException
        Conducts a regression on the data in the model, using a subset of regressors.
        Parameters:
        numberOfRegressors - many of the regressors to include (either in canonical order, or in the current reordered state)
        Returns:
        RegressionResults the structure holding all regression results
        Throws:
        ModelSpecificationException - - thrown if number of observations is less than the number of variables or number of regressors requested is greater than the regressors in the model
      • regress

        public RegressionResults regress​(int[] variablesToInclude)
                                  throws ModelSpecificationException
        Conducts a regression on the data in the model, using regressors in array Calling this method will change the internal order of the regressors and care is required in interpreting the hatmatrix.
        Specified by:
        regress in interface UpdatingMultipleLinearRegression
        Parameters:
        variablesToInclude - array of variables to include in regression
        Returns:
        RegressionResults the structure holding all regression results
        Throws:
        ModelSpecificationException - - thrown if number of observations is less than the number of variables, the number of regressors requested is greater than the regressors in the model or a regressor index in regressor array does not exist
