Method new()

Create a new ConceptLattice object.

Usage

ConceptSet$new(extents, intents, objects, attributes, I = NULL)

Arguments

extents

(dgCMatrix) The extents of all concepts

intents

(dgCMatrix) The intents of all concepts

objects

(character vector) Names of the objects in the formal context

attributes

(character vector) Names of the attributes in the formal context

I

(dgCMatrix) The matrix of the formal context

Returns

A new ConceptLattice object.

Method size()

Size of the Lattice

Usage

ConceptSet$size()

Returns

The number of concepts in the lattice.

Method is_empty()

Is the lattice empty?

Usage

ConceptSet$is_empty()

Returns

TRUE if the lattice has no concepts.

Method extents()

Concept Extents

Usage

ConceptSet$extents()

Returns

The extents of all concepts, as a dgCMatrix.

Method intents()

Concept Intents

Usage

ConceptSet$intents()

Returns

The intents of all concepts, as a dgCMatrix.

Method print()

Print the Concept Set

Usage

ConceptSet$print()

Returns

Nothing, just prints the concepts

Method to_latex()

Write in LaTeX

Usage

ConceptSet$to_latex(print = TRUE, ncols = 1, numbered = TRUE, align = TRUE)

Arguments

print

(logical) Print to output?

ncols

(integer) Number of columns of the output.

numbered

(logical) Number the concepts?

align

(logical) Align objects and attributes independently?

Returns

The LaTeX code to list all concepts.

Method to_list()

Returns a list with all the concepts

Usage

ConceptSet$to_list()

Returns

A list of concepts.

Method [()

Subsets a ConceptSet

Usage

ConceptSet$[(indices)

Arguments

indices

(numeric or logical vector) The indices of the concepts to return as a list of Concepts. It can be a vector of logicals where TRUE elements are to be retained.

Returns

Another ConceptSet.

Method sub()

Individual Concepts

Usage

ConceptSet$sub(index)

Arguments

index

(numeric) The index of the concept to return.

Returns

The Concept.

Method support()

Get support of each concept

Usage

ConceptSet$support()

Returns

A vector with the support of each concept.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

ConceptSet$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

# Build a formal context
fc_planets <- FormalContext$new(planets)

# Find the concepts
fc_planets$find_concepts()

# Find join- and meet- irreducible elements
fc_planets$concepts$join_irreducibles()
fc_planets$concepts$meet_irreducibles()
