getVIMP: Extract the VIMP if it is present

In henkelstone/NPEL.Classification: Classifaction and data-handling routines for NPEL Caribou Project

Description

This function will extract the Variable Importance data if the model contains it, otherwise it attempts to compute it using a leave-one-out algorithm.

Usage

getVIMP(model, calc)

Arguments

model	is the model for which to extract the VIMP
calc	should the VIMP be computed using npelVIMP(calc=T)

Value

a data frame with the VIMP data if it is present, otherwise NULL

Note

The nearest neighbour models in package:FNN and package:class do not enclose their results in a class; when NPEL.Classification builds objects of these types it wraps them in a class so they are recognizable by S3 methods, and attaches the formula and data. Hence, if a model was built directly using these packages the result will not run this function.
