#' Calculation of filter-based variable importance
#'
#' Specific engines for variable importance on a model by model basis.
#'
#'
#' The importance of each predictor is evaluated individually using a
#' ``filter'' approach.
#'
#' For classification, ROC curve analysis is conducted on each predictor. For
#' two class problems, a series of cutoffs is applied to the predictor data to
#' predict the class. The sensitivity and specificity are computed for each
#' cutoff and the ROC curve is computed. The trapezoidal rule is used to
#' compute the area under the ROC curve. This area is used as the measure of
#' variable importance. For multi-class outcomes, the problem is decomposed
#' into all pair-wise problems and the area under the curve is calculated for
#' each class pair (i.e class 1 vs. class 2, class 2 vs. class 3 etc.). For a
#' specific class, the maximum area under the curve across the relevant
#' pair-wise AUC's is used as the variable importance measure.
#'
#' For regression, the relationship between each predictor and the outcome is
#' evaluated. An argument, \code{nonpara}, is used to pick the model fitting
#' technique. When \code{nonpara = FALSE}, a linear model is fit and the
#' absolute value of the $t$-value for the slope of the predictor is used.
#' Otherwise, a loess smoother is fit between the outcome and the predictor.
#' The $R^2$ statistic is calculated for this model against the intercept only
#' null model.
#'
#' @param x A matrix or data frame of predictor data
#' @param y A vector (numeric or factor) of outcomes)
#' @param nonpara should nonparametric methods be used to assess the
#' relationship between the features and response
#' @param ... options to pass to either \code{\link[stats]{lm}} or
#' \code{\link[stats]{loess}}
#' @return A data frame with variable importances. Column names depend on the
#' problem type. For regression, the data frame contains one column: "Overall"
#' for the importance values.
