Identification of interesting interactions between binary variables using logic regression. Currently available for the classification, the linear regression and the logistic regression approach of logreg and for a multinomial logic regression as implemented in mlogreg.

## Default S3 method:
logicFS(x, y, B = 100, useN = TRUE, ntrees = 1, nleaves = 8, 
  glm.if.1tree = FALSE, replace = TRUE, sub.frac = 0.632, 
  anneal.control = logreg.anneal.control(), onlyRemove = FALSE,
  prob.case = 0.5, score = c("DPO", "Conc", "Brier", "PL"), 
	addMatImp = TRUE, fast = FALSE, neighbor = NULL, 
	adjusted = FALSE, ensemble = FALSE, rand = NULL, ...)
  
## S3 method for class 'formula'
logicFS(formula, data, recdom = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'logicBagg'
logicFS(x, neighbor = NULL, adjusted = FALSE, 
  prob.case = 0.5, score = c("DPO", "Conc", "Brier", "PL"), 
	ensemble = FALSE, addMatImp = TRUE, ...)

`x`	a matrix consisting of 0's and 1's. Alternatively, `x` can also be an object of class `logicBagg`, i.e. the output of `logic.bagging`. If a matrix, each column must correspond to a binary variable and each row to an observation. Missing values are not allowed.
`y`	a numeric vector, a factor, or a vector of class `Surv` specifying the values of a response for all the observations represented in `x`, where no missing values are allowed in `y`. If a numeric vector, then `y` either contains the class labels (coded by 0 and 1) or the values of a continuous response depending on whether the classification or logistic regression approach of logic regression, or the linear regression approach, respectively, should be used. If the response is categorical, then `y` must be a factor naming the class labels of the observations. If the response is a (right-censored survival time), then `y` must be vector of class `Surv` (generated, e.g., with the function `Surv` from the `R` package `survival`.
`B`	an integer specifying the number of iterations.
`useN`	logical specifying if the number of correctly classified out-of-bag observations should be used in the computation of the importance measure. If `FALSE`, the proportion of correctly classified oob observations is used instead. Ignored in the survival case.
`ntrees`	an integer indicating how many trees should be used. For a binary response: If `ntrees` is larger than 1, the logistic regression approach of logic regreesion will be used. If `ntrees` is 1, then by default the classification approach of logic regression will be used (see `glm.if.1tree`.) For a continuous response: A linear regression model with `ntrees` trees is fitted in each of the `B` iterations. For a categorical response: n.lev-1 logic regression models with `ntrees` trees are fitted, where n.lev is the number of levels of the response (for details, see `mlogreg`). For a response of class `Surv`: A Cox proportional hazards regression model with `ntrees` trees is fitted in each of the `B` iterations.
`nleaves`	a numeric value specifying the maximum number of leaves used in all trees combined. For details, see the help page of the function `logreg` of the package `LogicReg`.
`glm.if.1tree`	if `ntrees` is 1 and `glm.if.1tree` is `TRUE` the logistic regression approach of logic regression is used instead of the classification approach. Ignored if `ntrees` is not 1, or the response is not binary.
`replace`	should sampling of the cases be done with replacement? If `TRUE`, a Bootstrap sample of size `length(y)` is drawn from the `length(y)` observations in each of the `B` iterations. If `FALSE`, `ceiling(sub.frac * length(y))` of the observations are drawn without replacement in each iteration.
`sub.frac`	a proportion specifying the fraction of the observations that are used in each iteration to build a classification rule if `replace = FALSE`. Ignored if `replace = TRUE`.
`anneal.control`	a list containing the parameters for simulated annealing. See the help of the function `logreg.anneal.control` in the `LogicReg` package.
`onlyRemove`	should in the single tree case the multiple tree measure be used? If `TRUE`, the prime implicants are only removed from the trees when determining the importance in the single tree case. If `FALSE`, the original single tree measure is computed for each prime implicant, i.e.\ a prime implicant is not only removed from the trees in which it is contained, but also added to the trees that do not contain this interaction. Ignored in all other than the classification case.
`prob.case`	a numeric value between 0 and 1. If the outcome of the logistic regression, i.e.\ the predicted probability, for an observation is larger than `prob.case` this observations will be classified as case (or 1).
`score`	a character string naming the score that should be used in the computation of the importance measure for a survival time analysis. By default, the distance between predicted outcomes (`score = "DPO"`) proposed by Tietz et al.\ (2018) is used in the determination of the importance of the variables. Alternatively, Harrell's C-Index (`"Conc"`), the Brier score (`"Brier"`), or the predictive partial log-likelihood (`"PL"`) can be used.
`addMatImp`	should the matrix containing the improvements due to the prime implicants in each of the iterations be added to the output? (For each of the prime implicants, the importance is computed by the average over the `B` improvements.) Must be set to `TRUE`, if standardized importances should be computed using `vim.norm`, or if permutation based importances should be computed using `vim.signperm`. If `ensemble = TRUE` and `addMatImp = TRUE` in the survival case, the respective score of the full model is added to the output instead of an improvement matrix.
`fast`	should a greedy search (as implemented in `logreg`) be used instead of simulated annealing?
`neighbor`	a list consisting of character vectors specifying SNPs that are in LD. If specified, all SNPs need to occur exactly one time in this list. If specified, the importance measures are adjusted for LD by considering the SNPs within a LD block as exchangable.
`adjusted`	logical specifying whether the measures should be adjusted for noise. Often, the interaction actually associated with the response is not exactly found in some iterations of logic bagging, but an interaction is identified that additionally contains one (or seldomly more) noise SNPs. If `adjusted` is set to `TRUE`, the values of the importance measure is corrected for this behaviour.
`ensemble`	in the case of a survival outcome, should `ensemble` importance measures (as, e.g., in `randomSurvivalSRC` be used? If `FALSE`, importance measures analogous to the ones in the logicFS analysis of other outcomes are used (see Tietz et al., 2018).
`rand`	numeric value. If specified, the random number generator will be set into a reproducible state.
`formula`	an object of class `formula` describing the model that should be fitted.
`data`	a data frame containing the variables in the model. Each row of `data` must correspond to an observation, and each column to a binary variable (coded by 0 and 1) or a factor (for details, see `recdom`) except for the column comprising the response, where no missing values are allowed in `data`. The response must be either binary (coded by 0 and 1), categorical, continuous, or a right-censored survival time. If a survival time, i.e. an object of class `Surv`, a Cox propotional hazard model is fitted in each of the `B` iterations of `logicFS`. If continuous, a linear model is fitted in each iterations. If categorical, the column of `data` specifying the response must be a factor. In this case, multinomial logic regressions are performed as implemented in `mlogreg`. Otherwise, depending on `ntrees` (and `glm.if.1tree`) the classification or the logistic regression approach of logic regression is used.
`recdom`	a logical value or vector of length `ncol(data)` comprising whether a SNP should be transformed into two binary dummy variables coding for a recessive and a dominant effect. If `recdom` is `TRUE` (and a logical value), then all factors/variables with three levels will be coded by two dummy variables as described in `make.snp.dummy`. Each level of each of the other factors (also factors specifying a SNP that shows only two genotypes) is coded by one indicator variable. If `recdom` is`FALSE` (and a logical value), each level of each factor is coded by an indicator variable. If `recdom` is a logical vector, all factors corresponding to an entry in `recdom` that is `TRUE` are assumed to be SNPs and transformed into two binary variables as described above. All variables corresponding to entries of `recdom` that are `TRUE` (no matter whether `recdom` is a vector or a value) must be coded either by the integers 1 (coding for the homozygous reference genotype), 2 (heterozygous), and 3 (homozygous variant), or alternatively by the number of minor alleles, i.e. 0, 1, and 2, where no mixing of the two coding schemes is allowed. Thus, it is not allowed that some SNPs are coded by 1, 2, and 3, and others are coded by 0, 1, and 2.
`...`	for the `formula` method, optional parameters to be passed to the low level function `logicFS.default`. Otherwise, ignored.

`primes`	the prime implicants,
`vim`	the importance of the prime implicants,
`prop`	the proportion of logic regression models containing the prime implicants (or the neighbors of the prime implicants, if `neighbor != NULL`; or the extended primes of the prime implicants, if `adjusted = TRUE`; or the extended primes of the neighbors of the prime implicants, if `neighbor != NULL` and `adjusted = TRUE`),
`type`	the type of model (1: classification, 2: linear regression, 3: logistic regression, 4: Cox regression),
