FS_barplot: Feature importance bar plot

Description

Displays retained features for different values of alpha in a bar plot.

Usage

FS_barplot(
  data = NULL,
  grid.alpha = seq(0.01, 0.99, by = 0.01),
  missing = FALSE,
  pv_adj = "none",
  smooth.tol = 10^-12,
  method = "c"
)

Value

Displays a bar plot depicting which features are selected at each value of alpha (multiplied by 100) and a list with elements:

survivors

Vector depicting how many alphas a variable is selected for

data_names

Vector depicting the corresponding names of the features

Arguments

data

A data frame. Values of type 'numeric' or 'integer' are treated as numerical.

grid.alpha

A vector of alpha values to be plotted, default = seq(0.01,0.99,by=0.01).

missing

Pairwise complete by default, set to TRUE for complete deletion.

pv_adj

Correction method for p-value, "none" by default. For options see p.adjust.

smooth.tol

Minimum acceptable eigenvalue for the smoothing, default 10^-12.

method

Algorithm used. c (cell-wise) by default, r (row-wise) as the alternative.
