rem_feature {promor}

Remove user-specified proteins (features) from a data frame

Description

This function removes user-specified proteins from a model_df object

Usage

rem_feature(model_df, rem_protein)

Arguments

model_df

A model_df object.

rem_protein

Name of the protein to remove.

Details

• After visualizing protein intensity variation among conditions with feature_plot or after assessing the importance of each protein in models using varimp_plot, you can choose to remove specific proteins (features) from the data frame.

• For example, you can choose to remove a protein from the model_df object if the protein does not show distinct patterns of variation among conditions. This protein may show mostly overlapping distributions in the feature plots.

• Another incidence would be removing a protein that is very low in variable importance in the models built using train_models. You can visualize variable importance using varimp_plot.

Value

A model_df object.
