Arguments

x

A data frame or matrix of data set.

y

A factor or vector of class.

...

Arguments to pass(current ignored).

Value

Examples

## prepare data set
data(abr1)
cls <- factor(abr1$fact$class)
dat <- abr1$pos
## dat <- abr1$pos[,110:1930]

## fill zeros with NAs
dat <- mv.zene(dat)

## missing values summary
mv <- mv.stats(dat, grp=cls) 
mv    ## View the missing value pattern

## filter missing value variables
## dim(dat)
dat <- dat[,mv$mv.var < 0.15]
## dim(dat)

## fill NAs with mean
dat <- mv.fill(dat,method="mean")

## log transformation
dat <- preproc(dat, method="log10")

## select class "1" and "2" for feature ranking
ind <- grepl("1|2", cls)
mat <- dat[ind,,drop=FALSE] 
mat <- as.matrix(mat)
grp <- cls[ind, drop=TRUE]   

## apply BW ratio method for feature selection/ranking
res <- fs.bw(mat,grp)
names(res)
