Non-negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF) for Stata
(v1.01, 18 Jan 2024)
This repository contains a number of implementations of non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) using simple multiplicative update rules, implemented in Stata using optimised Mata functions.
Installation
The package can be installed from GitHub using net install:
``` net install nmf, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonathanbatty/stata-nmf/main/installation/") replace
```
Syntax
The syntax for nmf is as follows:
``` nmf varlist, k() [options]
[options] = epoch() initial() loss() stop() nograph() ```
See the help file using help nmf for full details of each option.
The most basic usage is as follows:
nmf colvar_*, k(n)
Whereby a factorisation of the matrix stored in colvar1, colvar2, colvar3, ... , colvarn will be performed, resulting in matrices W and H of rank n. The resulting matrices will be stored in frames W and H and can be accessed using frame change W and frame change H, respectively. A summary of the loss parameters by epoch can be viewed using frame change error. Note: return to the original dataframe using frame change default.
Examples
Examples of running NMF in 4 different contexts are given in ./examples/. These use the sample datasets included with the nmf package: faces.dta, nsclc.dta and trajectories.dta.
