occupancy_filter: Subset occupancy hypervolumes

In hypervolume: High Dimensional Geometry, Set Operations, Projection, and Inference Using Kernel Density Estimation, Support Vector Machines, and Convex Hulls

Subset occupancy hypervolumes

Description

The occupancy_filter() function is used to subset an hypervolume generated with hypervolume_n_occupancy() or hypervolume_n_occupancy_test().

Usage

occupancy_filter(hv, operator = NULL, filter = NULL, tol = 1e-10)

Arguments

hv	A Hypervolume or HypervolumeList object generated with hypervolume_n_occupancy() or hypervolume_n_occupancy_test().
operator	Binary operator which allow the comparison.
filter	Threshold value to perform the operation.
tol	Set the tolerance for reconstructing whole volume. See details.

Details

The occupancy_filter() function set the occupancy values to 0 based on the user-provided operation. Volume of the hypervolumes are changed accordingly.
When hv is an HypervolumeList, the occupancy_filter() function attempts to reconstruct the volume of the union of hypervolumes from hv_list. At first, the volume of the union of hypervolumes is calculated for each element of hv as the the ratio between the total number of random points and the number of random points of the ith element of hv, multiplied by the volume of the ith element hv. This step results in a number of reconstructed volumes equal to the number of hypervolumes in the jth bootstrapped occupancy_object. Reconstructed volumes are then compared among each other to ensure the consistency of the reconstruction. To do this, the distance among reconstructed volumes is calculated with the dist() function of the stats package. If at least one of the distances is greater than tol the computation is stopped and some suggestions are returned.

Value

A Hypervolume-class or HypervolumeList-class object.

# transform the list into an HypervolumeList

# calculate occupancy based on sex
hv_occupancy_list_sex = hypervolume_n_occupancy(hv_list, 
                          classification = rep(c("female", "male"), 3))


# set to 0 values lower than 0.35
occupancy_filter(hv_occupancy_list_sex, operator = "<", filter = "0.35")
