nmfkc: Non-Negative Matrix Factorization with Kernel Covariates
Abstract
Performs Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with Kernel Covariates. Given an observation matrix and kernel covariates, it optimizes both a basis matrix and a parameter matrix. Notably, if the kernel matrix is an identity matrix, the method simplifies to standard NMF. Also provides NMF with Random Effects (NMF-RE) via nmfre(), which estimates a mixed-effects model combining covariate-driven scores with unit-specific random effects together with wild bootstrap inference, and NMF-based Structural Equation Modeling (NMF-SEM) via nmf.sem(), which fits a two-block input-output model for blind source separation and path analysis.
