Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

This function determines a ranking of predictors by computing CAT scores (correlation-adjusted t-scores) between the group centroids and the pooled mean by using fucntion of the package sda.

Usage

1
2
sda_ranking(prototype = NULL, info = NULL, fdr = FALSE,
  ranking.score = "avg", lambda = 0.5)

Arguments

prototype

is the matrix of prototype

info

is the factor of class label

fdr

compute FDR values and HC scores for each feature. default = FALSE

ranking.score

how to compute the summary score for each variable from the CAT scores of all classes. default = "avg"

lambda

Shrinkage intensity for the correlation matrix. If not specified it is estimated from the data. lambda=0 implies no shrinkage and lambda=1 complete shrinkage. default = 0.5

Value

return a matrix with the following columns: idx original feature number score sum of the squared CAT scores across groups - this determines the overall ranking of a feature cat for each group and feature the cat score of the centroid versus the pooled mean
