k_binomialRF: random forest feature selection based on binomial exact test

In binomialRF: Binomial Random Forest Feature Selection

Description

k_binomialRF is the R implementation of the interaction feature selection algorithm by (Zaim 2019). k_binomialRF extends the binomialRF algorithm by searching for k-way interactions.

Usage

k_binomialRF(X, y, fdr.threshold = 0.05, fdr.method = "BY",
  ntrees = 2000, percent_features = 0.3, K = 2, cbinom_dist = NULL,
  sampsize = nrow(X) * 0.4)

Arguments

X	design matrix
y	class label
fdr.threshold	fdr.threshold for determining which set of features are significant
fdr.method	how should we adjust for multiple comparisons (i.e., p.adjust.methods =c("holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY","fdr", "none"))
ntrees	how many trees should be used to grow the randomForest? (Defaults to 5000)
percent_features	what percentage of L do we subsample at each tree? Should be a proportion between (0,1)
K	for multi-way interactions, how deep should the interactions be?
cbinom_dist	user-supplied correlated binomial distribution
sampsize	user-supplied sample size for random forest

Value

a data.frame with 4 columns: Feature Name, Frequency Selected, Probability of Selecting it randomly, Adjusted P-value based on fdr.method

pr = 1/(1+exp(-z))
y = rbinom(100,1,pr)
