Introduction

PGRdup is an R package to facilitate the search for probable/possible duplicate accessions in Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) collections using passport databases. Primarily this package implements a workflow (Fig. 1) designed to fetch groups or sets of germplasm accessions with similar passport data particularly in fields associated with accession names within or across PGR passport databases. It offers a suite of functions for data pre-processing, creation of a searchable Key Word in Context (KWIC) index of keywords associated with accession records and the identification of probable duplicate sets by fuzzy, phonetic and semantic matching of keywords. It also has functions to enable the user to review, modify and validate the probable duplicate sets retrieved.

The goal of this document is to introduce the users to these functions and familiarise them with the workflow intended to fetch probable duplicate sets. This document assumes a basic knowledge of R programming language.

The functions in this package are primarily built using the R packages data.table, igraph, stringdist and stringi.

To know detailed history of changes use news(package='PGRdup').

Installation

The package can be installed using the following functions:

# Install from CRAN
install.packages('PGRdup', dependencies=TRUE)

Uninstalled dependencies (packages which PGRdup depends on viz- data.table, igraph, stringdist and stringi are also installed because of the argument dependencies=TRUE.

Then the package can be loaded using the function

library(PGRdup)

Data Format

The package is essentially designed to operate on PGR passport data present in a data frame object, with each row holding one record and columns representing the attribute fields. For example, consider the dataset GN1000 supplied along with the package.

library(PGRdup)
# Load the dataset to the environment
data(GN1000)
# Show the class of the object
class(GN1000)
# View the first few records in the data frame
head(GN1000)

If the passport data exists as an excel sheet, it can be first converted to a comma-separated values (csv) file or tab delimited file and then easily imported into the R environment using the base functions read.csv and read.table respectively. Similarly read_csv() and read_tsv() from the readr package can also be used. Alternatively, the package readxl can be used to directly read the data from excel. In case of large csv files, the function fread in the data.table package can be used to rapidly load the data.

If the PGR passport data is in a database management system (DBMS), the required table can be imported as a data frame into R. using the appropriate R-database interface package. For example dbConnect for MySQL, ROracle for Oracle etc.

The PGR data downloaded from the genesys database as a Darwin Core - Germplasm zip archive can be imported into the R environment as a flat file data.frame using the read.genesys function.

# Import the DwC-Germplasm zip archive "genesys-accessions-filtered.zip"
PGRgenesys <- read.genesys("genesys-accessions-filtered.zip",
                           scrub.names.space = TRUE, readme = TRUE)

Data Pre-processing

Data pre-processing is a critical step which can affect the quality of the probable duplicate sets being retrieved. It involves data standardization as well as data cleaning which can be achieved using the functions DataClean, MergeKW, MergePrefix and MergeSuffix.

DataClean function can be used to clean the character strings in passport data fields(columns) specified as the input character vector x according to the conditions specified in the arguments.

Commas, semicolons and colons which are sometimes used to separate multiple strings or names within the same field can be replaced with a single space using the logical arguments fix.comma, fix.semcol and fix.col respectively.

x <- c("A 14; EC 1697", "U 4-4-28; EC 21078; A 32", "PI 262801:CIAT 9075:GKP 9553/90",
       "NCAC 16049, PI 261987, RCM 493-3")
x
# Replace ',', ':' and ';' with space
DataClean(x, fix.comma=TRUE, fix.semcol=TRUE, fix.col=TRUE,
          fix.bracket=FALSE, fix.punct=FALSE, fix.space=FALSE, fix.sep=FALSE,
          fix.leadzero=FALSE)

Similarly the logical argument fix.bracket can be used to replace all brackets including parenthesis, square brackets and curly brackets with space.

x <- c("(NRCG-1738)/(NFG649)", "26-5-1[NRCG-2528]", "Ah 1182 {NRCG-4340}")
x
# Replace parenthesis, square brackets and curly brackets with space
DataClean(x, fix.comma=FALSE, fix.semcol=FALSE, fix.col=FALSE,
          fix.bracket=TRUE,
          fix.punct=FALSE, fix.space=FALSE, fix.sep=FALSE, fix.leadzero=FALSE)

The logical argument fix.punct can be used to remove all punctuation from the data.

x <- c("#26-6-3-1", "Culture No. 857", "U/4/47/13")
x
# Remove punctuation
DataClean(x, fix.comma=FALSE, fix.semcol=FALSE, fix.col=FALSE, fix.bracket=FALSE,
          fix.punct=TRUE,
          fix.space=FALSE, fix.sep=FALSE, fix.leadzero=FALSE)

fix.space can be used to convert all space characters such as tab, newline, vertical tab, form feed and carriage return to spaces and finally convert multiple spaces to single space.

x <- c("RS   1", "GKSPScGb 208  PI 475855")
x
# Replace all space characters to space and convert multiple spaces to single space
DataClean(x, fix.comma=FALSE, fix.semcol=FALSE, fix.col=FALSE,
          fix.bracket=FALSE, fix.punct=FALSE,
          fix.space=TRUE,
          fix.sep=FALSE, fix.leadzero=FALSE)

fix.sep can be used to merge together accession identifiers composed of alphabetic characters separated from a series of digits by a space character.

x <- c("NCAC 18078", "AH 6481", "ICG 2791")
x
# Merge alphabetic character separated from a series of digits by a space
DataClean(x, fix.comma=FALSE, fix.semcol=FALSE, fix.col=FALSE,
          fix.bracket=FALSE, fix.punct=FALSE, fix.space=FALSE,
          fix.sep=TRUE,
          fix.leadzero=FALSE)

fix.leadzero can be used to remove leading zeros from accession name fields to facilitate matching to identify probable duplicates.

x <- c("EC 0016664", "EC0001690")
x
# Remove leading zeros
DataClean(x, fix.comma=FALSE, fix.semcol=FALSE, fix.col=FALSE,
          fix.bracket=FALSE, fix.punct=FALSE, fix.space=FALSE, fix.sep=FALSE,
          fix.leadzero=TRUE)

This function can hence be made use of in tidying up multiple forms of messy data existing in fields associated with accession names in PGR passport databases (Table 1).

names <- c("S7-12-6", "ICG-3505", "U 4-47-18;EC 21127", "AH 6481", "RS   1",
           "AK 12-24", "2-5 (NRCG-4053)", "T78, Mwitunde", "ICG 3410",
           "#648-4 (Gwalior)", "TG4;U/4/47/13", "EC0021003")
names
# Clean the data
DataClean(names)

# DC <- data.frame(names = names, `DataClean(names)` = DataClean(names))
# knitr::kable(DC)

Table 2. Data pre-processing using DataClean.

|names |DataClean(names) | |:------------------|:--------------------| |S7-12-6 |S7126 | |ICG-3505 |ICG3505 | |U 4-47-18;EC 21127 |U44718 EC21127 | |AH 6481 |AH6481 | |RS 1 |RS1 | |AK 12-24 |AK1224 | |2-5 (NRCG-4053) |25 NRCG4053 | |T78, Mwitunde |T78 MWITUNDE | |ICG 3410 |ICG3410 | |#648-4 (Gwalior) |6484 GWALIOR | |TG4;U/4/47/13 |TG4 U44713 | |EC0021003 |EC21003 |

Several common keyword string pairs or keyword prefixes and suffixes exist in fields associated with accession names in PGR passport databases. They can be merged using the functions MergeKW, MergePrefix and MergeSuffix respectively. The keyword string pairs, prefixes and suffixes can be supplied as a list or a vector to the argument y in these functions.

names <- c("Punjab Bold", "Gujarat- Dwarf", "Nagpur.local", "SAM COL 144",
           "SAM COL--280", "NIZAMABAD-LOCAL", "Dark Green Mutant",
           "Dixie-Giant", "Georgia- Bunch", "Uganda-erect", "Small Japan",
           "Castle  Cary", "Punjab erect", "Improved small japan",
           "Dark Purple")
names

# Merge pairs of strings
y1 <- list(c("Gujarat", "Dwarf"), c("Castle", "Cary"), c("Small", "Japan"),
           c("Big", "Japan"), c("Mani", "Blanco"), c("Uganda", "Erect"),
           c("Mota", "Company"))
names <- MergeKW(names, y1, delim = c("space", "dash", "period"))

# Merge prefix strings
y2 <- c("Light", "Small", "Improved", "Punjab", "SAM", "Dark")
names <- MergePrefix(names, y2, delim = c("space", "dash", "period"))

# Merge suffix strings
y3 <- c("Local", "Bold", "Cary", "Mutant", "Runner", "Giant", "No.",
        "Bunch", "Peanut")
names <- MergeSuffix(names, y3, delim = c("space", "dash", "period"))

names

These functions can be applied over multiple columns(fields) in a data frame using the lapply function.

# Load example dataset
GN <- GN1000

# Specify as a vector the database fields to be used
GNfields <- c("NationalID", "CollNo", "DonorID", "OtherID1", "OtherID2")
head(GN[GNfields])

# Clean the data
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields], function(x) DataClean(x))
y1 <- list(c("Gujarat", "Dwarf"), c("Castle", "Cary"), c("Small", "Japan"),
c("Big", "Japan"), c("Mani", "Blanco"), c("Uganda", "Erect"),
c("Mota", "Company"))
y2 <- c("Dark", "Light", "Small", "Improved", "Punjab", "SAM")
y3 <- c("Local", "Bold", "Cary", "Mutant", "Runner", "Giant", "No.",
        "Bunch", "Peanut")
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeKW(x, y1, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergePrefix(x, y2, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeSuffix(x, y3, delim = c("space", "dash")))
head(GN[GNfields])

Generation of KWIC Index

The function KWIC generates a Key Word in Context index [@knupffer1988european; @kfj97] from the data frame of a PGR passport database based on the fields(columns) specified in the argument fields along with the keyword frequencies and gives the output as a list of class KWIC. The first element of the vector specified in fields is considered as the primary key or identifier which uniquely identifies all rows in the data frame.

This function fetches keywords from different fields specified, which can be subsequently used for matching to identify probable duplicates. The frequencies of the keywords retrieved can help in determining if further data pre-processing is required and also to decide whether any common keywords can be exempted from matching (Fig. 2).

# Load example dataset
GN <- GN1000

# Specify as a vector the database fields to be used
GNfields <- c("NationalID", "CollNo", "DonorID", "OtherID1", "OtherID2")

# Clean the data
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields], function(x) DataClean(x))
y1 <- list(c("Gujarat", "Dwarf"), c("Castle", "Cary"), c("Small", "Japan"),
c("Big", "Japan"), c("Mani", "Blanco"), c("Uganda", "Erect"),
c("Mota", "Company"))

GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeSuffix(x, y3, delim = c("space", "dash")))

GNKWIC <- KWIC(GN, GNfields, min.freq = 1)
class(GNKWIC)
GNKWIC

The function will throw an error in case of duplicates or NULL values in the primary key/ID field mentioned.

GN <- GN1000
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields], function(x) DataClean(x))
# Generate dummy duplicates for illustration
GN[1001:1005,] <- GN[1:5,]
# Generate dummy NULL values for illustration
GN[1001,3] <- ""
GN[1002,3] <- ""
GN[1001:1005,]

message(paste("Error in KWIC(GN, GNfields, min.freq = 1) :", 
              "  Primary key/ID field should be unique and not NULL",
              " Use PGRdup::ValidatePrimKey() to identify and rectify the aberrant records first",
              sep = "\n"))

The erroneous records can be identified using the helper function ValidatePrimKey.

# Validate the primary key/ID field for duplication or existence of NULL values
ValidatePrimKey(x = GN, prim.key = "NationalID")
# Remove the offending records
GN <- GN[-c(1001:1005), ]
# Validate again

Once KWIC indexes are generated, probable duplicates of germplasm accessions can be identified by fuzzy, phonetic and semantic matching of the associated keywords using the function ProbDup. The sets are retrieved as a list of data frames of class ProbDup.

Keywords that are not to be used for matching can be specified as a vector in the excep argument.

Methods

The function can execute matching according to either one of the following three methods as specified by the method argument.

  1. Method "a" : Performs string matching of keywords in a single KWIC index to identify probable duplicates of accessions in a single PGR passport database.
# Load example dataset
GN <- GN1000

# Specify as a vector the database fields to be used
GNfields <- c("NationalID", "CollNo", "DonorID", "OtherID1", "OtherID2")

# Clean the data
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields], function(x) DataClean(x))
y1 <- list(c("Gujarat", "Dwarf"), c("Castle", "Cary"), c("Small", "Japan"),
c("Big", "Japan"), c("Mani", "Blanco"), c("Uganda", "Erect"),
c("Mota", "Company"))
y2 <- c("Dark", "Light", "Small", "Improved", "Punjab", "SAM")
y3 <- c("Local", "Bold", "Cary", "Mutant", "Runner", "Giant", "No.",
        "Bunch", "Peanut")
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeKW(x, y1, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergePrefix(x, y2, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeSuffix(x, y3, delim = c("space", "dash")))

# Generate the KWIC index
GNKWIC <- KWIC(GN, GNfields)

# Specify the exceptions as a vector
exep <- c("A", "B", "BIG", "BOLD", "BUNCH", "C", "COMPANY", "CULTURE",

                 phonetic = TRUE, semantic = FALSE)
class(GNdup)
GNdup

  1. Method "b" : Performs string matching of keywords in the first KWIC index (query) with that of the keywords in the second index (source) to identify probable duplicates of accessions of the first PGR passport database among the accessions in the second database.

  2. Method "c" : Performs string matching of keywords in two different KWIC indexes jointly to identify probable duplicates of accessions from among two PGR passport databases.

Matching Strategies

  1. Fuzzy matching or approximate string matching of keywords is carried out by computing the generalized levenshtein (edit) distance between them. This distance measure counts the number of deletions, insertions and substitutions necessary to turn one string to another.
# Load example dataset
GN <- GN1000

# Specify as a vector the database fields to be used
GNfields <- c("NationalID", "CollNo", "DonorID", "OtherID1", "OtherID2")

# Clean the data
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields], function(x) DataClean(x))
y1 <- list(c("Gujarat", "Dwarf"), c("Castle", "Cary"), c("Small", "Japan"),
c("Big", "Japan"), c("Mani", "Blanco"), c("Uganda", "Erect"),
c("Mota", "Company"))
y2 <- c("Dark", "Light", "Small", "Improved", "Punjab", "SAM")
y3 <- c("Local", "Bold", "Cary", "Mutant", "Runner", "Giant", "No.",
        "Bunch", "Peanut")
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeKW(x, y1, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergePrefix(x, y2, delim = c("space", "dash")))
GN[GNfields] <- lapply(GN[GNfields],
                       function(x) MergeSuffix(x, y3, delim = c("space", "dash")))

# Generate the KWIC index
GNKWIC <- KWIC(GN, GNfields)

# Specify the exceptions as a vector
exep <- c("A", "B", "BIG", "BOLD", "BUNCH", "C", "COMPANY", "CULTURE",
         "DARK", "E", "EARLY", "EC", "ERECT", "EXOTIC", "FLESH", "GROUNDNUT",
         "GUTHUKAI", "IMPROVED", "K", "KUTHUKADAL", "KUTHUKAI", "LARGE",
         "LIGHT", "LOCAL", "OF", "OVERO", "P", "PEANUT", "PURPLE", "R",
         "RED", "RUNNER", "S1", "SAM", "SMALL", "SPANISH", "TAN", "TYPE",
         "U", "VALENCIA", "VIRGINIA", "WHITE")

# Fetch fuzzy duplicates
GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = TRUE, max.dist = 3,
                 phonetic = FALSE, semantic = FALSE)
GNdup

The maximum distance to be considered for a match can be specified by max.dist argument.

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = TRUE, max.dist = 1,
                 phonetic = FALSE, semantic = FALSE)
GNdup

Exact matching can be enforced with the argument force.exact set as TRUE. It can be used to avoid fuzzy matching when the number of alphabet characters in keywords is lesser than a critical value (max.alpha). Similarly, the value of max.digit can also be set according to the requirements to enforce exact matching. The default value of Inf avoids fuzzy matching and enforces exact matching for all keywords having any numerical characters. If max.digit and max.alpha are both set to Inf, exact matching will be enforced for all the keywords.

When exact matching is enforced, for keywords having both alphabet and numeric characters and with the number of alphabet characters greater than max.digit, matching will be carried out separately for alphabet and numeric characters present.

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = TRUE, force.exact = TRUE, max.alpha = 4, max.digit = Inf,
                 phonetic = FALSE, semantic = FALSE)
GNdup
  1. Phonetic matching of keywords is carried out using the Double Metaphone phonetic algorithm which is implemented as the helper function DoubleMetaphone, [@p00], to identify keywords that have the similar pronunciation.
GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = FALSE,
                 phonetic = TRUE,
                 semantic = FALSE)
GNdup

Either the primary or alternate encodings can be used by specifying the encoding argument.

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = FALSE,
                 phonetic = TRUE, encoding = "alternate",
                 semantic = FALSE)
GNdup

The argument phon.min.alpha sets the limits for the number of alphabet characters to be present in a string for executing phonetic matching.

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = FALSE,
                 phonetic = TRUE, encoding = "alternate", phon.min.alpha = 4,
                 semantic = FALSE)
GNdup

Similarly min.enc sets the limits for the number of characters to be present in the encoding of a keyword for phonetic matching.

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = FALSE,
                 phonetic = TRUE, encoding = "alternate", min.enc = 4,
                 semantic = FALSE)
GNdup
  1. Semantic matching matches keywords based on a list of accession name synonyms supplied as list with character vectors of synonym sets (synsets) to the syn argument. Synonyms in this context refer to interchangeable identifiers or names by which an accession is recognized. Multiple keywords specified as members of the same synset in syn are matched. To facilitate accurate identification of synonyms from the KWIC index, identical data standardization operations using the Merge* and DataClean functions for both the original database fields and the synset list are recommended.
# Specify the synsets as a list
syn <- list(c("CHANDRA", "AH 114"), c("TG-1", "VIKRAM"))

# Clean the data in the synsets
syn <- lapply(syn, DataClean)

GNdup <- ProbDup(kwic1 = GNKWIC, method = "a", excep = exep, 
                 fuzzy = FALSE, phonetic = FALSE,
                 semantic = TRUE, syn = syn)
GNdup

Memory and Speed Constraints

As the number of keywords in the KWIC indexes increases, the memory consumption by the function also increases proportionally. This is due to the reason that for string matching, this function relies upon creation of a n$\times$m matrix of all possible keyword pairs for comparison, where n and m are the number of keywords in the query and source indexes respectively. This can lead to cannot allocate vector of size... errors in case of large KWIC indexes where the comparison matrix is too large to reside in memory. In such a case, the chunksize argument can be reduced from the default 1000 to get the appropriate size of the KWIC index keyword block to be used for searching for matches at a time. However a smaller chunksize may lead to longer computation time due to the memory-time trade-off.

The progress of matching is displayed in the console as number of keyword blocks completed out of the total number of blocks, the percentage of achievement and a text-based progress bar.

In case of multi-byte characters in keywords, the speed of keyword matching is further dependent upon the useBytes argument as described in help("stringdist-encoding") for the stringdist function in the namesake package [@van2014stringdist], which is made use of here for string matching.

The CPU time taken for retrieval of probable duplicate sets under different options for the arguments chunksize and useBytes can be visualized using the microbenchmark package (Fig. 3).

Set Review, Modification and Validation

The initially retrieved sets may be intersecting with each other because there might be accessions which occur in more than duplicate set. Disjoint sets can be generated by merging such overlapping sets using the function DisProbDup.

Disjoint sets are retrieved either individually for each type of probable duplicate sets or considering all type of sets simultaneously. In case of the latter, the disjoint of all the type of sets alone are returned in the output as an additional data frame DisjointDupicates in an object of class ProbDup.

Once duplicate sets are retrieved they can be validated by manual clerical review by comparing with original PGR passport database(s) using the ReviewProbDup function. This function helps to retrieve PGR passport information associated with fuzzy, phonetic or semantic probable duplicate sets in an object of class ProbDup from the original databases(s) from which they were identified. The original information of accessions comprising a set, which have not been subjected to data standardization can be compared under manual clerical review for the validation of the set. By default only the fields(columns) which were used initially for creation of the KWIC indexes using the KWIC function are retrieved. Additional fields(columns) if necessary can be specified using the extra.db1 and extra.db2 arguments.

When any primary ID/key records in the fuzzy, phonetic or semantic duplicate sets are found to be missing from the original databases specified in db1 and db2, then they are ignored and only the matching records are considered for retrieving the information with a warning.

This may be due to data standardization of the primary ID/key field using the function DataClean before creation of the KWIC index and subsequent identification of probable duplicate sets. In such a case, it is recommended to use an identical data standardization operation on the primary ID/key field of databases specified in db1 and db2 before running this function.

With R <= v3.0.2, due to copying of named objects by list(), Invalid .internal.selfref detected and fixed... warning can appear, which may be safely ignored.

The output data frame can be subjected to clerical review either after exporting into an external spreadsheet using write.csv function or by using the edit function.

The column DEL can be used to indicate whether a record has to be deleted from a set or not. Y indicates "Yes", and the default N indicates "No".

The column SPLIT similarly can be used to indicate whether a record in a set has to be branched into a new set. A set of identical integers in this column other than the default 0 can be used to indicate that they are to be removed and assembled into a new set.

# Load the original database and clean the Primary ID/key field
GN1000 <- GN1000
GN1000$NationalID <- DataClean(GN1000$NationalID)

# Get the data frame for reviewing the duplicate sets identified
RevGNdup <- ReviewProbDup(pdup = disGNdup1, db1 = GN1000,
                          extra.db1 = c("SourceCountry", "TransferYear"),
                          max.count = 30, insert.blanks = TRUE)

head(RevGNdup)

# Examine and review the duplicate sets using edit function
RevGNdup <- edit(RevGNdup)

# OR examine and review the duplicate sets after exporting them as a csv file
write.csv(file="Duplicate sets for review.csv", x=RevGNdup)

After clerical review, the data frame created using the function ReviewProbDup from an object of class ProbDup can be reconstituted back to the same object after the review using the function ReconstructProbDup.

The instructions for modifying the sets entered in the appropriate format in the columns DEL and SPLIT during clerical review are taken into account for reconstituting the probable duplicate sets. Any records with Y in column DEL are deleted and records with identical integers in the column SPLIT other than the default 0 are reassembled into a new set.

# The original set data
subset(RevGNdup, SET_NO==13 & TYPE=="P", select= c(IDKW, DEL, SPLIT))
# Make dummy changes to the set for illustration
RevGNdup[c(113, 116), 6] <- "Y"
RevGNdup[c(111, 114), 7] <- 1
RevGNdup[c(112, 115, 117), 7] <- 2
# The instruction for modification in columns DEL and SPLIT
subset(RevGNdup, SET_NO==13 & TYPE=="P", select= c(IDKW, DEL, SPLIT))

# Reconstruct ProDup object
GNdup2 <- ReconstructProbDup(RevGNdup)
# Initial no. of sets
disGNdup1
# No. of sets after modifications
GNdup2

Other Functions

The ProbDup object is a list of data frames of different kinds of probable duplicate sets viz- FuzzyDuplicates, PhoneticDuplicates, SemanticDuplicates and DisjointDuplicates. Each row of the component data frame will have information of a set, the type of set, the set members as well as the keywords based on which the set was formed. This data can be reshaped into long form using the function ParseProbDup. This function which will transform a ProbDup object into a single data frame.

# Convert 'ProbDup' object to a long form data frame of sets
GNdupParsed <- ParseProbDup(GNdup)
head(GNdupParsed)

The prefix K* here indicates the KWIC index of origin. This is useful in ascertaining the database of origin of the accessions when method "b" or "c" was used to create the input ProbDup object.

Once the sets are reviewed and modified, the validated set data fields from the ProbDup object can be added to the original PGR passport database using the function AddProbDup. The associated data fields such as SET_NO, ID and IDKW are added based on the PRIM_ID field(column).

# Loading original database
GN2 <- GN1000

# Add the duplicates set data to the original database
GNwithdup <-  AddProbDup(pdup = GNdup, db = GN2, addto = "I")

In case more than one KWIC index was used to generate the object of class ProbDup, the argument addto can be used to specify to which database the data fields are to be added. The default "I" indicates the database from which the first KWIC index was created and "II" indicates the database from which the second index was created.

The function SplitProbDup can be used to split an object of class ProbDup into two on the basis of set counts. This is useful for reviewing separately the sets with larger set counts.

# Specify as a vector the database fields to be used

# Split the probable duplicate sets
GNdupSplit <- SplitProbDup(GNdup, splitat = c(10, 10, 10))
GNdupSplit[[1]]
GNdupSplit[[3]]

Alternatively, two different ProbDup objects can be merged together using the function MergeProbDup.

GNdupMerged <- MergeProbDup(GNdupSplit[[1]], GNdupSplit[[3]])
GNdupMerged

The summary of accessions according to a grouping factor field(column) in the original database(s) within the probable duplicate sets retrieved in a ProbDup object can be visualized by the ViewProbDup function. The resulting plot can be used to examine the extent of probable duplication within and between groups of accessions records.

The function KWCounts can be used to compute the keyword counts from PGR passport database fields(columns) which are considered for identification of probable duplicates. These keyword counts can give a rough indication of the completeness of the data in such fields (Fig. 3).

# Compute the keyword counts for the whole data
GNKWCouts <- KWCounts(GN, GNfields, exep)

# Compute the keyword counts for 'duplicated' records
GND <- ParseProbDup(disGNdup2, Inf, F)$PRIM_ID

GNDKWCouts <- KWCounts(GN[GN$NationalID %in% GND, ],
                       GNfields, exep)

# Compute the keyword counts for 'unique' records
GNUKWCouts <- KWCounts(GN[!GN$NationalID %in% GND, ],
                       GNfields, exep)

# Plot the counts as barplot
par(mfrow = c(3,1))

bp1 <- barplot(table(GNKWCouts$COUNT),
               xlab = "Word count", ylab = "Frequency",
               main = "A", col = "#1B9E77")
text(bp1, 0, table(GNKWCouts$COUNT),cex = 1, pos = 3)
legend("topright", paste("No. of records =",
                         nrow(GN)),
       bty = "n")

bp2 <- barplot(table(GNDKWCouts$COUNT),
               xlab = "Word count", ylab = "Frequency",
               main = "B", col = "#D95F02")
text(bp2, 0, table(GNDKWCouts$COUNT),cex = 1, pos = 3)
legend("topright", paste("No. of records =",
                   nrow(GN[GN$NationalID %in% GND, ])),
       bty = "n")

bp3 <- barplot(table(GNUKWCouts$COUNT),
               xlab = "Word count", ylab = "Frequency",
               main = "C", col = "#7570B3")
text(bp3, 0, table(GNUKWCouts$COUNT),cex = 1, pos = 3)
