queryKNN-methods: Query k-nearest neighbors

In LTLA/BiocNeighbors: Nearest Neighbor Detection for Bioconductor Packages

Query k-nearest neighbors

Description

Find the k-nearest neighbors in one data set for each point in another query data set, using exact or approximate algorithms.

Usage

queryKNN(X, query, k, ..., BNINDEX, BNPARAM)

Arguments

X	A numeric data matrix where rows are points and columns are dimensions. This can be missing if BNINDEX is supplied.
query	A numeric query matrix where rows are points and columns are dimensions.
k	An integer scalar specifying the number of nearest neighbors to search for.
...	Further arguments to pass to specific methods. This is guaranteed to include subset, get.index, get.distance, last, transposed, warn.ties, raw.index and BPPARAM. See ?"queryKNN-functions" for more details.
BNINDEX	A BiocNeighborIndex object containing precomputed index information. This can be missing if X and BNPARAM is supplied, see Details.
BNPARAM	A BiocNeighborParam object specifying the algorithm to use. This can be missing if BNINDEX is supplied, see Details.

Details

The class of BNINDEX and BNPARAM will determine dispatch to specific methods. Only one of these arguments needs to be defined to resolve dispatch. However, if both are defined, they cannot specify different algorithms.

If BNINDEX is supplied, X does not need to be specified. In fact, any value of X will be ignored as all necessary information for the search is already present in BNINDEX. Similarly, any parameters in BNPARAM will be ignored.

If both BNINDEX and BNPARAM are missing, the function will default to the KMKNN algorithm by setting BNPARAM=KmknnParam().

Value

A list is returned containing index, an integer matrix of neighbor identities; and distance, a numeric matrix of distances to those neighbors. See ?"queryKNN-functions" for more details.

Examples

Y <- matrix(rnorm(100000), ncol=20)
Z <- matrix(rnorm(10000), ncol=20)
str(k.out <- queryKNN(Y, Z, k=10))
str(a.out <- queryKNN(Y, Z, k=10, BNPARAM=AnnoyParam()))

e.dex <- buildExhaustive(Y)
str(k.out2 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=e.dex))
str(k.out3 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=e.dex, BNPARAM=ExhaustiveParam()))

k.dex <- buildKmknn(Y)
str(k.out2 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=k.dex))
str(k.out3 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=k.dex, BNPARAM=KmknnParam()))

a.dex <- buildAnnoy(Y)
str(a.out2 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=a.dex))
str(a.out3 <- queryKNN(Y,Z,  k=10, BNINDEX=a.dex, BNPARAM=AnnoyParam()))
