do.uwdfs: Uncorrelated Worst-Case Discriminative Feature Selection

Description

Built upon do.wdfs, this method selects features step-by-step to opt out the redundant sets by iteratively update feature scores via scaling by the correlation between target and previously chosen variables.

Usage

do.uwdfs(
  X,
  label,
  ndim = 2,
  preprocess = c("null", "center", "scale", "cscale", "decorrelate", "whiten")
)

Value

a named list containing

Y

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

featidx

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

trfinfo

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

projection

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

Arguments

X

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

label

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

ndim

an integer-valued target dimension.

preprocess

an additional option for preprocessing the data. Default is "null". See also aux.preprocess for more details.

Examples

# \donttest{
## use iris data
## it is known that feature 3 and 4 are more important.
data(iris)
set.seed(100)
subid    = sample(1:150,50)
iris.dat = as.matrix(iris[subid,1:4])
iris.lab = as.factor(iris[subid,5])

## compare with other algorithms
out1 = do.lda(iris.dat, iris.lab)
out2 = do.wdfs(iris.dat, iris.lab)
out3 = do.uwdfs(iris.dat, iris.lab)

## visualize
