#' Create a feature vector for a classifier from a data frame
#' 
#' Convert a data frame containing pairwise interactions, and  
#' a score or other data associated with each interaction, into a feature vector
#' that matches the dimensions of a data frame used as input to a classifier, 
#' such as a naive Bayes, random forests, or support vector machine classifier.
#' 
#' @param dat a data frame containing pairwise interactions and a feature to be
#'   converted to a vector in a third column
#' @param target the data frame of features that will be provided as input to a 
#'   classifier
#' @param dat_node_cols a vector of length two, denoting either the indices 
#'   (integer vector) or column names (character vector) of the columns within 
#'   the feature data frame; defaults to the first two columns of the data 
#'   frame (\code{c(1, 2)})
#' @param target_node_cols a vector of length two, denoting either the indices 
#'   (integer vector) or column names (character vector) of the columns within 
#'   the target data frame; defaults to the first two columns of the data 
#'   frame (\code{c(1, 2)})
#' @param feature_col the name or index of the column in the first data frame 
#'   that contains a feature for each interaction
#' @param default_value the default value for protein pairs that are not in the 
#'   first data frame (set, by default, to \code{NA})
#' 
#' @return a vector matching the dimensions and order of the feature data frame,
#' to use as input for a classifier in interaction prediction 
#'
