is.in.convex: Check Outsiderness

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

Check Outsiderness

Description

Checks the belonging to at least one of class convex hulls of the training sample.

Usage

is.in.convex(x, data, cardinalities, seed = 0)

Arguments

x	Matrix of objects (numerical vector as one object) whose belonging to convex hulls is to be checked; each row contains a d-variate point. Should have the same dimension as data.
data	Matrix containing training sample where each row is a d-dimensional object, and objects of each class are kept together so that the matrix can be thought of as containing blocks of objects, representing classes.
cardinalities	Numerical vector of cardinalities of each class in data, each entry corresponds to one class.
seed	the random seed. The default value seed=0 makes no changes.

Details

Checks are conducted w.r.t. each separate class in data using the simplex algorithm, taken from the C++ implementation of the zonoid depth calculation by Rainer Dyckerhoff.

Value

Matrix of number of objects rows and number of classes columns, containing 1 if an object belongs to the convex hull of the corresponding class, and 0 otherwise.

Author(s)

Implementation of the simplex algorithm is taken from the algorithm for computation of zonoid depth (Dyckerhoff, Koshevoy and Mosler, 1996) that has been implemented in C++ by Rainer Dyckerhoff.

Examples

# Generate a bivariate normal location-shift classification task
# containing 400 training objects and 1000 to test with
class1 <- mvrnorm(700, c(0,0), 
                  matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
class2 <- mvrnorm(700, c(2,2), 
                  matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
trainIndices <- c(1:200)
testIndices <- c(201:700)
propertyVars <- c(1:2)
classVar <- 3
trainData <- rbind(cbind(class1[trainIndices,], rep(1, 200)), 
                   cbind(class2[trainIndices,], rep(2, 200)))
testData <- rbind(cbind(class1[testIndices,], rep(1, 500)), 
                  cbind(class2[testIndices,], rep(2, 500)))
data <- list(train = trainData, test = testData)

# Count outsiders
numOutsiders = sum(rowSums(is.in.convex(data$test[,propertyVars], 
                                data$train[,propertyVars], c(200, 200))) == 0)
cat(numOutsiders, "outsiders found in the testing sample.\n")
