MDL Multiresolution Linear Regression Framework

In this work, we provide the framework to analyze a multiresolution partition (e.g. country, provinces, subdistrict) where each individual data point belongs to only one partition in each layer (e.g. i belongs to subdistrict A, province P, and country Q).

We assume that a partition in a higher layer subsumes lower-layer partitions (e.g. a nation is at the 1st layer subsumes all provinces at the 2nd layer).

Given N individuals that have a pair of real values (x, y) that generated from independent variable X and dependent variable Y. Each individual i belongs to one partition per layer.

Our goal is to find which partition at which highest level that all individuals in the this partition share the same linear model Y = f(X) where f is a linear function.

Explanation: FindMaxHomoOptimalPartitions(DataT,gamma)

INPUT: DataT$X[i,j] is the value of jth independent variable of ith individual.
INPUT: DataT$Y[i] is the value of dependent variable of ith individual.
INPUT: DataT$clsLayer[i,k] is the cluster label of ith individual in kth cluster layer.
OUTPUT: out$Copt[p,1] is equal to k implies that a cluster that is a pth member of the maximal homogeneous partition is at kth layer and the cluster name in kth layer is Copt[p,2]
OUTPUT: out$Copt[p,3] is “Model Information Reduction Ratio” of pth member of the maximal homogeneous partition: positive means the linear model is better than the null model.
OUTPUT: out$Copt[p,4] is η(C)_cv of pth member of the maximal homogeneous partition. The greater Copt[p,4], the higher homogeneous degree of this cluster.
OUTPUT: out$models[[k]][[j]] is the linear regression model of jth cluster in kth layer.
OUTPUT: outmodels[[k]][[j]]clustInfoRecRatio is the “Cluster Information Reduction Ratio” between the jth cluster in kth layer and its children clusters in (k+1)th layer: positive means current cluster is better than its children clusters. Hence, we should keep this cluster at the member of maximal homogeneous partition instead of its children.
