BNS {text2vec}

BNS

Description

Creates BNS (bi-normal separation) model. Defined as: Q(true positive rate) - Q(false positive rate), where Q is a quantile function of normal distribution.

Usage

BNS

Format

R6Class object.

Details

Bi-Normal Separation

Fields

bns_stat

data.table with computed BNS statistic. Useful for feature selection.

Usage

For usage details see Methods, Arguments and Examples sections.

bns = BNS$new(treshold = 0.0005)
bns$fit_transform(x, y)
bns$transform(x)

Methods

$new(treshold = 0.0005)

Creates bns model

$fit_transform(x, y)

fit model to an input sparse matrix (preferably in "dgCMatrix" format) and then transforms it.

$transform(x)

transform new data x using bns from train data

Arguments

bns

A BNS object

x

An input document term matrix. Preferably in dgCMatrix format

y

Binary target variable coercible to logical.

treshold

Clipping treshold to avoid infinities in quantile function.
