Rdimtools (version 1.1.2)

do.cscore: Constraint Score

Description

Constraint Score zhang_constraint_2008aRdimtools is a filter-type algorithm for feature selection using pairwise constraints. It first marks all pairwise constraints as same- and different-cluster and construct a feature score for both constraints. It takes ratio or difference of feature score vectors and selects the indices with smallest values.

Usage

do.cscore(X, label, ndim = 2, ...)

Value

a named Rdimtools S3 object containing

Y

an \((n\times ndim)\) matrix whose rows are embedded observations.

cscore

a length-\(p\) vector of constraint scores. Indices with smallest values are selected.

featidx

a length-\(ndim\) vector of indices with highest scores.

projection

a \((p\times ndim)\) whose columns are basis for projection.

trfinfo

a list containing information for out-of-sample prediction.

algorithm

name of the algorithm.

Arguments

X

an \((n\times p)\) matrix whose rows are observations and columns represent independent variables.

label

a length-\(n\) vector of class labels.

ndim

an integer-valued target dimension (default: 2).

...

extra parameters including

preprocess

an additional option for preprocessing the data. See also aux.preprocess for more details (default: "null").

score

type of score measures from two score vectors of same- and different-class pairwise constraints; "ratio" (default) and "difference" method. See the paper from the reference for more details.

lambda

a penalty value for different-class pairwise constraints. Only valid for "difference" scoring method. (default: 0.5).
