| 16 | ## Introduction |
| 17 | <!--Tell that we try to learn classification parameters in a non-EM way, using algebric manipulations.--> |
| 18 | |
| 19 | *morpheus* is a contributed R package which attempts to find the parameters of a |
| 20 | mixture of logistic classifiers. |
| 21 | When the data under study come from several groups that have different characteristics, |
| 22 | using mixture models is a very popular way to handle heterogeneity. |
| 23 | Thus, many algorithms were developed to deal with various mixtures models. |
| 24 | Most of them use likelihood methods or Bayesian methods that are likelihood dependent. |
| 25 | *flexmix* is an R package which implements these kinds of algorithms. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | However, one problem of such methods is that they can converge to local maxima, |
| 28 | so several starting points must be explored. |
| 29 | Recently, spectral methods were developed to bypass EM algorithms and they were proved |
| 30 | able to recover the directions of the regression parameter |
| 31 | in models with known link function and random covariates (see [XX]). |
| 32 | Our package extends such moment methods using least squares to get estimators of the |
| 33 | whole parameters (with theoretical garantees, see [XX]). |
| 34 | Currently it can handle only binary output $-$ which is a common case. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ## Model |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Let $X\in \R^{d}$ be the vector of covariates and $Y\in \{0,1\}$ be the binary output. |
| 39 | A binary regression model assumes that for some link function $g$, the probability that |
| 40 | $Y=1$ conditionally to $X=x$ is given by $g(\langle \beta, x \rangle +b)$, where |
| 41 | $\beta\in \R^{d}$ is the vector of regression coefficients and $b\in\R$ is the intercept. |
| 42 | Popular examples of link functions are the logit link function where for any real $z$, |
| 43 | $g(z)=e^z/(1+e^z)$ and the probit link function where $g(z)=\Phi(z),$ with $\Phi$ |
| 44 | the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal ${\cal N}(0,1)$. |
| 45 | Both are implemented in the package. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | If now we want to modelise heterogeneous populations, let $K$ be the number of |
| 48 | populations and $\omega=(\omega_1,\cdots,\omega_K)$ their weights such that |
| 49 | $\omega_{j}\geq 0$, $j=1,\ldots,K$ and $\sum_{j=1}^{K}\omega{j}=1$. |
| 50 | Define, for $j=1,\ldots,K$, the regression coefficients in the $j$-th population |
| 51 | by $\beta_{j}\in\R^{d}$ and the intercept in the $j$-th population by |
| 52 | $b_{j}\in\R$. Let $\omega =(\omega_{1},\ldots,\omega_{K})$, |
| 53 | $b=(b_1,\cdots,b_K)$, $\beta=[\beta_{1} \vert \cdots,\vert \beta_K]$ the $d\times K$ |
| 54 | matrix of regression coefficients and denote $\theta=(\omega,\beta,b)$. |
| 55 | The model of population mixture of binary regressions is given by: |
| 56 | |
| 57 | \begin{equation} |
| 58 | \label{mixturemodel1} |
| 59 | \PP_{\theta}(Y=1\vert X=x)=\sum^{K}_{k=1}\omega_k g(<\beta_k,x>+b_k). |
| 60 | \end{equation} |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ## Algorithm, theoretical garantees |
| 63 | |
| 64 | The algorithm uses spectral properties of some tensor matrices to estimate the model |
| 65 | parameters $\Theta = (\omega, \beta, b)$. Under rather mild conditions it can be |
| 66 | proved that the algorithm converges to the correct values (its speed is known too). |
| 67 | For more informations on that subject, however, please refer to our article [XX]. |
| 68 | In this vignette let's rather focus on package usage. |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ## Usage |
| 71 | <!--We assume that the random variable $X$ has a Gaussian distribution. |
| 72 | We now focus on the situation where $X\sim \mathcal{N}(0,I_d)$, $I_d$ being the |
| 73 | identity $d\times d$ matrix. All results may be easily extended to the situation |
| 74 | where $X\sim \mathcal{N}(m,\Sigma)$, $m\in \R^{d}$, $\Sigma$ a positive and |
| 75 | symetric $d\times d$ matrix. ***** TODO: take this into account? --> |

| 80 | |
| 81 | \subsection{Experiments} |
| 82 | In this section, we evaluate our algorithm in a first step using mean squared error (MSE). In a second step, we compare experimentally our moments method (morpheus package \cite{Loum_Auder}) and the likelihood method (with felxmix package \cite{bg-papers:Gruen+Leisch:2007a}). |
