image: Visual Inspection of Binary Incidence Matrices

Description

Provides the S4 methods image to generate level plots to visually inspect binary incidence matrices, i.e., objects based on '>itemMatrix (e.g., transactions, tidLists, items in itemsets or rhs/lhs in rules). These plots can be used to identify problems in a data set (e.g., recording problems with some transactions containing all items).

Usage


# S4 method for itemMatrix
image(x, 
    xlab = "Items (Columns)",
    ylab = "Elements (Rows)", ...)

# S4 method for transactions image(x, xlab = "Items (Columns)", ylab = "Transactions (Rows)", ...)

# S4 method for tidLists image(x, xlab="Transactions (Columns)", ylab="Items/itemsets (Rows)", ...)

Arguments

x

the object (itemMatrix, transactions or tidLists).

xlab, ylab

labels for the plot.

further arguments passed on to image in package Matrix which in turn are passed on to levelplot in lattice.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
data("Epub")

## in this data set we can see that not all
## items were available from the beginning.
image(Epub[1:1000])

# }
