GARS_FitFun: This function implements the Fitness Function of GARS

In GARS: GARS: Genetic Algorithm for the identification of Robust Subsets of variables in high-dimensional and challenging datasets

Description

In GARS the Fitness Function consists in calculating the Averaged Silhouette Index after a Multi-Dimensional Scaling

Usage

GARS_FitFun(data, classes, chr.pop)

Arguments

data	A SummarizedExperiment object or a matrix or a data.frame. In case of matrix or data.frame: Rows and Cols have to be, respectively, observations and features. The variables are tipically genes; GARS also accept other -omic features as well as any continuous or factorial variables (e.g. sex, age, cholesterol level,...); Usually the number of observation is << than the number of features '
classes	A vector of type "factor" with nrow(data) elements. Each element represents the class label for each observation.
chr.pop	A matrix or a data.frame representing the chromosomes population: each column is a chromosome and each element corresponds to the feature position in the expression data matrix

Value

A numeric vector where each element corresponds to the fitness score of each chromosome in 'chr.pop'
