toBinaryResponse: Convert multiclass response to binary response

In luannnguyen/mltoolkit: Various tools for training machine learning classifiers

Description

Convert multiclass response to binary response

Usage

toBinaryResponse(
  chr,
  p.responses = NULL,
  p.return = NULL,
  n.responses = NULL,
  n.return = NULL,
  as.factor = TRUE
)

Arguments

chr	A character vector or factor
p.responses	Name of positive classes to convert
p.return	Name of positive class to return
n.responses	Name of negative classes to convert
n.return	Name of negative class to return
as.factor	Option to return a factor instead of character vector

Details

Classes here refer to the type of responses; not to be confused with R classes.

If only one class is specified for Pclasses and no name is specified for Preturn, Pclasses is returned. Preturn can be specified in case one would like to change the name of the class. This is also the same for Nclasses/Nreturn.

Value

Returns a character vector or factor with only two classes

Examples

responses <- c('BRCA1', 'BRCA2', 'none','BRCA1','BRCA1', 'BRCA2', 'none')
toBinaryResponse(responses)
