Dear R users, I want to find the latent factors from a kind of time-series data describing temporal changes of concentration using a factor analysis technique called 'factor analysis of dynamic structure (FADS).' I learned how to form the data for the analysis using a proper package embedding FADS, such as 'fad' package.
The analysis with 'fad' worked and gave me results, but the problem was raised when the time-series data is vast. The time-series data extracted from the 3-dimensional matrix (i.e., 3D image volume of 50 x 50 x 163) repeatedly acquired at 54-time points is consisted of 50 x 50 x 163 x 54 = 22,005,000 observations. The desired number of the latent factor (k) is 4. What I got from fad(MATRIX, k) is following: Error in fun(A, k, nu, nv, opts, mattype = "matrix") : TridiagEigen: eigen decomposition failed When I resize the matrix smaller into 5 x 5 x 15, it gives me what I wanted properly. I found that some resampling methods such as random sampling, data stratification, etc., could resolve this kind of problem, but I have no ideas which one could be appropriate. Please teach me with any ideas and comments.
