## AQI Index

### Description

A quantitative measure of dataset quality. The AQI Index score indicates the degree that how features are associated with the outcome in a dataset. (synonyms of "feature": "variable" "factor" "attribute")
For more information, please refer to the corresponding publication: Shi, J., Zhang, J. and Ge, Y. (2019), "An Association-Based Intrinsic Quality Index for Healthcare Dataset Ranking" <doi:10.1109/ICHI.2019.8904553>

### Usage

AQI(data, alpha.filter = 0.2)


### Arguments

 data data frame (features as columns and observations as rows). It requires at least one feature and only one outcome. The features must be discrete. The outcome variable (Y) must be in the last column. alpha.filter level of significance for the mutual information test of independence in step 2 (). By default, 'alpha.filter = 0.2'.

### Value

The AQI Index score.

### Examples

## Generate a toy dataset: "data"
n=10000
x1=rbinom(n,3,0.5)+0.2
x2=rbinom(n,2,0.8)+0.5
x3=rbinom(n,5,0.3)
error=round(runif(n,min=-1,max=1))
y=x1+x3+error
data=data.frame(cbind(x1,x2,x3,y))
colnames(data) = c("feature1", "feature2", "feature3", "Y")

## Calculate the AQI score of "data"
AQI(data)
