There are many situations in physiological and pharmacological analyses where multivariate data is collected. Frequently these are analysed with t-tests and multiple (Bonferroni) comparisons or ANOVA with post-hoc test. Increasingly, even with more powerful computers many variables and it seems that feature reduction would be a useful approach. The most commonly used method is principle component analyses, but in this report we compare this to a technique developed for genetic analyses, discriminant analysis of principle component (DAPC) analyses. A simple to use and well-maintained library exists for DAPC analyses, Adegenet2, and using this we find that DAPC detects differences between synthetic physiological datasets with significantly greater accuracy than traditional PCA.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
