hoggorm
hoggorm is a Python package for explorative multivariate statistics in Python. It contains
- PCA (principal component analysis)
- PCR (principal component regression)
- PLSR (partial least squares regression)
- PLSR1 for single variable responses
- PLSR2 for multivariate responses
- matrix correlation coefficients RV, RV2 and SMI.
Unlike scikit-learn, which is an excellent python machine learning package focusing on classification and predicition, hoggorm rather aims at understanding and interpretation of the variance in the data. hoggorm also also contains tools for prediction.
