pathClass (version 0.9.1)

extractFeatures: Extracts features which have been choosen by the classifier(s).

Description

Extracts features which have been choosen by the classifier(s).

Usage

extractFeatures(res, toFile=FALSE, fName="ClassificationFeatures.csv")

Arguments

res

A result of crossval.

toFile

Should the results be printed into a CSV-file.

fName

the name of the file to save the results in.

Value

• a data.frame indicating the number of times a feature has been choosen.

Details

This function extracts the features which have been selected by the classifiers during the cross-validation along with the number of times they have been choosen. When, for example, performing a 5 times repeated 10-fold cross-validation the maximum number a feature can be choosen is 50.

Examples

library(Biobase)
data(sample.ExpressionSet)
x <- t(exprs(sample.ExpressionSet))
y <- factor(pData(sample.ExpressionSet)$sex)
res.rfe <- crossval(x,y,DEBUG=TRUE,theta.fit=fit.rfe,folds=2,repeats=1,parallel=TRUE,Cs=10^(-3:3))
extractFeatures(res.rfe, toFile=FALSE)
