Usage

binaryConsistency()

Value

Returns a function that is used to generate an evaluation set measure using the binary consistency value for the selected features.

# NOT RUN {
## The direct application of this function is an advanced use that consists of using this 
# function directly to evaluate a set of features
## Classification problem

# A discrete dataset is used (in this case we use only several discrete columns)
adult <- adult[,c(4,9,10,15)]

# Generate the evaluation function with Binary Consistency
bc_evaluator <- binaryConsistency()
# Evaluate the features (parameters: dataset, target variable and features)
bc_evaluator(adult,'income',c('race','sex','education'))
# }
