dknn.classify: Depth-Based kNN

In ddalpha: Depth-Based Classification and Calculation of Data Depth

Depth-Based kNN

Description

The implementation of the affine-invariant depth-based kNN of Paindaveine and Van Bever (2015).

Usage

dknn.classify(objects, data, k, depth = "halfspace", seed = 0)

Arguments

objects	Matrix containing objects to be classified; each row is one d-dimensional object.
data	Matrix containing training sample where each of n rows is one object of the training sample where first d entries are inputs and the last entry is output (class label).
k	the number of neighbours
depth	Character string determining which depth notion to use; the default value is "halfspace". Currently the method supports the following depths: "halfspace", "Mahalanobis", "simplicial".
seed	the random seed. The default value seed=0 makes no changes.

Value

List containing class labels, or character string "Ignored" for the outsiders if "Ignore" was specified as the outsider treating method.

Examples

# Generate a bivariate normal location-shift classification task
# containing 200 training objects and 200 to test with
class1 <- mvrnorm(200, c(0,0), 
                  matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
class2 <- mvrnorm(200, c(2,2), 
                  matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
trainIndices <- c(1:100)
testIndices <- c(101:200)
propertyVars <- c(1:2)
classVar <- 3
trainData <- rbind(cbind(class1[trainIndices,], rep(1, 100)), 
                   cbind(class2[trainIndices,], rep(2, 100)))
testData <- rbind(cbind(class1[testIndices,], rep(1, 100)), 
                  cbind(class2[testIndices,], rep(2, 100)))
data <- list(train = trainData, test = testData)

# Train the classifier
# and get the classification error rate
cls <- dknn.train(data$train, kMax = 20, depth = "Mahalanobis")
cls$k
classes1 <- dknn.classify.trained(data$test[,propertyVars], cls)
cat("Classification error rate: ", 
    sum(unlist(classes1) != data$test[,classVar])/200)

# Classify the new data based on the old ones in one step
classes2 <- dknn.classify(data$test[,propertyVars], data$train, k = cls$k, depth = "Mahalanobis")
cat("Classification error rate: ", 
    sum(unlist(classes2) != data$test[,classVar])/200)
