unmap: Dummy matrix for an outcome factor
In mixOmics: Omics Data Integration Project

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

Converts a class or group vector or factor into a matrix of indicator variables.

1	unmap(classification, groups = NULL, noise = NULL)

`classification`	A numeric or character vector or factor. Typically the distinct entries of this vector would represent a classification of observations in a data set.
`groups`	A numeric or character vector indicating the groups from which `classification` is drawn. If not supplied, the default is to assumed to be the unique entries of classification.
`noise`	A single numeric or character value used to indicate the value of `groups` corresponding to noise.

An n by K matrix of (0,1) indicator variables, where n is the length of samples and K the number of classes in the outcome.

If a noise value of symbol is designated, the corresponding indicator variables are relocated to the last column of the matrix.

Note: - you can remap an unmap vector using the function map from the package mclust. - this function should be used to unmap an outcome vector as in the non-supervised methods of mixOmics. For other supervised analyses such as (s)PLS-DA, (s)gccaDA this function is used internally.
