Methods

Public methods


Method new()

Create a new ComplexCondition object.

Usage
ComplexCondition$new(conditions)
Arguments
conditions

the set of elementary conditions


Method complexCover()

Method to calculate the set of objects matching this complex condition.

Usage
ComplexCondition$complexCover(it)
Arguments
it

the information table to use

Returns

the set of matching objects - set of object names


Method firstMetric()

Method for calculating the first comparison metric used in the DOMLEM paper.

Usage
ComplexCondition$firstMetric(G, it)
Arguments
G

the parameter of the metric - a vector describing a set of objects

it

the information table to use

Returns

a numeric metric between 0 and 1. Higher is better.


Method secondMetric()

Method for calculating the second comparison metric used in the DOMLEM paper.

Usage
ComplexCondition$secondMetric(G, it)
Arguments
G

the parameter of the metric - a vector describing a set of objects

it

the information table to use

Returns

a non-negative integer metric. Higher is better.


Method allMetrics()

Method for calculating all comparison metrics used in the DOMLEM paper.

Usage
ComplexCondition$allMetrics(G, it)
Arguments
G

the parameter of the metrics - a vector describing a set of objects

it

the information table to use

Returns

a list of metrics. Higher is better.


Method findBestElementary()

Method to evaluate if an elementary condition is better than the current best.

Usage
ComplexCondition$findBestElementary(G, it, check, best)
Arguments
G

the parameter of the metric - a vector describing a set of objects

it

the information table to use

check

the elementary condition to evaluate

best

the current best elementary

Returns

the better of the two elementary conditions


Method reduceConditions()

Method that tries to make a complex condition shorter. For each elementary condition e in E, check if [E - e] subset or equal B then E := E - e.

Usage
ComplexCondition$reduceConditions(B, it)
Arguments
B

the objects to cover - set of object names

it

the information table to use

Returns

a complex condition


Method getConstants()

Method for creating an efficient representation of the constants used in the filter conditions.

Usage
ComplexCondition$getConstants(it)
Arguments
it

the information table to use

Returns

a vector of filter values. Not filtered attributes have an NA value.


Method getConstantsGrouped()

Method for creating an efficient representation of the constants used in the filter conditions, grouped by the type of variable and condition.

Usage
ComplexCondition$getConstantsGrouped(it)
Arguments
it

the information table to use

Returns

a list of vector of filter values, one list for the following operator groups: (= or ~). (>=), and (<=). Not filtered attributes have an NA value.


Method contains()

Method for deciding whether a provided elementary condition is part of this complex condition.

Usage
ComplexCondition$contains(elem)
Arguments
elem

the elementary condition to check

Returns

a boolean value


Method append()

Method for appending an additional elementary condition to the current conditions.

Usage
ComplexCondition$append(elem)
Arguments
elem

the elementary condition to be added


Method length()

Method that returns the number of elementary conditions in this complex condition.

Usage
ComplexCondition$length()

Method print()

print method.

Usage
ComplexCondition$print()

Method toString()

toString method.

Usage
ComplexCondition$toString()

Method equals()

Method to compare two ComplexConditions.

Usage
ComplexCondition$equals(other)
Arguments
other

the other complex condition to compare to

Returns

a single boolean value


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage
ComplexCondition$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
