map.significance: Compute Significance of Features

Description

Computes the relative significance of each feature and plots it.

Usage

map.significance(map,graphics=TRUE,feature.labels=TRUE)

Arguments

map

An object of type 'map'.

graphics

A switch that controls whether a plot is generated or not.

feature.labels

A switch to allow the plotting of feature names vs feature indices.

Value

If graphics=FALSE a vector containing the significance for each feature is returned.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(iris)

df <- subset(iris,select=-Species)
labels <- subset(iris,select=Species)

m <- map.build(df,labels,xdim=15,ydim=10,train=10000)

## show the relative feature significance for each feature
df <- data.frame(names(df),map.significance(m,graphics=FALSE))
names(df) <- c("Features","Significance")
df

## display the relative feature significance graphically
map.significance(m)
# }
