mi_df {mildsvm}

Build a multiple instance (MI) data frame

Description

mi_df() constructs a data frame that corresponds to Multiple Instance (MI) data. A mi_df object must have two special columns:

• bag_label, determines the label of each bag, typically from c(0, 1)

• bag_name, character or factor that specifies the bag that each sample belongs to.

Usage

mi_df(
  bag_label = character(),
  bag_name = character(),
  ...,
  instance_label = NULL
)

Arguments

bag_label

A character, factor, or numeric vector.

bag_name

A character or factor vector.

...

A set of name-value pairs. These construct the covariates for a mi_df.

instance_label

A character, factor, or numeric vector, or NULL.

Details

We refer to the rows of a mi_df as instances. Each instance is contained in a bag, with a corresponding label. Bags will typically have several instances within them. Instance labels can be provided, but they will be pulled in as an attribute.

Value

A 'mi_df' object. This data.frame-like has columns bag_label, bag_name, and those specified in .... It also inherits from the 'tbl_df' and 'tbl' classes.

Examples

mi_df('bag_label' = factor(c(1, 1, 0)),
      'bag_name' = c(rep('bag_1', 2), 'bag_2'),
      'X1' = c(-0.4, 0.5, 2),
      'instance_label' = c(0, 1, 0))
