Symbolic data table Object

Description

These are objects representing symbolic data table structure

Details

For all fields symbol N.A. means not available value.

For futher details see ../doc/SDA.pdf

Value

individuals	data frame with one row for each row in symbolic data table with following columns: num - symbolic object (described by symbolic data table row) ordering number , usually from 1 to numebr of symbolic objects; name - short name of symbolic object with no spaces; label - full descriptive name of symbolic object.
variables	data frame with one row for each column in symbolic data table with following columns: num - symbolic variable (adequate to symbolic data table column) ordering number, usually from 1 to number of symbolic variables; name - short name of symbolic variable with no spaces; label - full descriptive name of symbolic variable; type - type of symbolic variable: IC (InterContinous) - Symbolic interval variable type, every realization of symbolic variable of this type on symbolic object takes form of numerical interval; C (Continous) - Symbolic interval variable type, every realization of symbolic variable of this type on symbolic object takes form of numerical interval for which begging is equal to end (equivalent to simple "numeric" value); MN (MultiNominal) - every realization of multi nominal symbolic variable on symbolic objects takes form of set of nominal values; NM ((Multi) Nominal Modif) - every realization of nominal symbolic variable on symbolic objects takes form of distribution of probabilities (set of nominal values with weights summing to one) N (Nominal) - every realization of nominal symbolic variable on symbolic objects is one value (or N.A.) details - id of this variable in details table apropriate for this kind of variable (detailsN for nominal and multi nominal variables, detailsIC for symbolic interval variables, detailsC for continous (metric single-valued) variables, detailsNM of multi nominal with weights variables).
detailsC	data frame describing symbolic continous (metric, single-valued) variables details with following columns: na - number of N.A. (not available) variables realization; nu - not used, left for compatibility with ASSO-XML specification; min - beginning of interval representing symbolic interval variable domain (minimal value of all realizations of this variable on all symbolic objects); max - end of interval representing symbolic interval variable domain (maximal value of all realizations of this variable on all symbolic objects).
detailsIC	data frame describing symbolic inter-continous (symbolic interval) variables details with following columns: na - number of N.A. (not available) variables realizations; nu - not used, left for compatibility with ASSO-XML specification; min - beginning of interval representing symbolic interval variable domain (minimal value of all beginnings of interval realizations of this variable on all symbolic objects); max - end of interval representing symbolic interval variable domain (maximal value of all ends of interval realizations of this variable on all symbolic objects).
detailsN	data frame describing symbolic nominal and multi nominal variables details with following columns: na - number of N.A. variables realizations; nu - not used, left for compatibility with ASSO-XML specification; modals - number of categories in symbolic variable domain. Each categorie is described in detailsListNom.
detailsListNom	data frame describing every category of symbolic nominal and multi nominal variables, with following columns: details_no - number of variable in detailsN to which domain belongs category; num - number of category within variable domain; name - category short name label - category full name
detailsNM	data frame describing symbolic multi nominal modiff (categories sets with weights) variables details with following columns: na number of N.A. (not available) variables realizations. nu not used, left for compatibility with ASSO-XML specification modals number of categories in symbolic variable domain. Each categorie is described in detailsListNomModiff
detailsListNomModif	data frame describing every category of symbolic multi nominal modiff variables, with following columns details_no - number of variable in detailsNM to which domain belongs category num - number of category within variable domain name - category short name label - category full name
indivIC	array of symbolic interval variables realizations, with dimensions nr_of_objects X nr_of_variables X 2 containing beginnings and ends of intervals for given object and variable. For values different type than symbolic interval array contains zeros
indivC	array of symbolic continues variables realizations, with dimensions nr_of_objects X nr_of_variables X 1 containing single values - realizations of variable on symbolic object. For values different type than symbolic continous array contains zeros
indivN	data frame describing symbolic nominal and multi nonimal variables realizations with folowing columns: indiv - id of symbolic object from individuals; variable - id of symbolic object from variables; value - id of category object from detailsListNom; When this data frame contains line i,j,k it means that category k belongs to set that is realization of j-th symbolic variable on i-th symbolic object.
indivNM	data frame describing symbolic multi nonimal modiff variables realizations with folowing columns: indiv - id of symbolic object from individuals; variable - id of symbolic object from variables; value - id of category object from detailsListNom; frequency - wiught of category; When this data frame contains line i,j,k,w it means that category k belongs to set that is realization of j-th symbolic variable on i-th symbolic object with weight(probability) w.
