Applicability domain methods using binary similarity analysis

Description

apd_similarity() is used to analyze samples in terms of similarity scores for binary data. All features in the data should be binary (i.e. zero or one).

Usage

apd_similarity(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
apd_similarity(x, quantile = NA_real_, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
apd_similarity(x, quantile = NA_real_, ...)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
apd_similarity(x, quantile = NA_real_, ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
apd_similarity(formula, data, quantile = NA_real_, ...)

## S3 method for class 'recipe'
apd_similarity(x, data, quantile = NA_real_, ...)

Arguments

x

Depending on the context:

  • A data frame of binary predictors.

  • A matrix of binary predictors.

  • A recipe specifying a set of preprocessing steps created from recipes::recipe().

...

Options to pass to proxyC::simil(), such as method. If no options are specified, method = "jaccard" is used.

quantile

A real number between 0 and 1 or NA for how the similarity values for each sample versus the training set should be summarized. A value of NA specifies that the mean similarity is computed. Otherwise, the appropriate quantile is computed.

formula

A formula specifying the predictor terms on the right-hand side. No outcome should be specified.

data

When a recipe or formula is used, data is specified as:

  • A data frame containing the binary predictors. Any predictors with no 1's will be removed (with a warning).

Details

The function computes measures of similarity for different samples points. For example, suppose samples A and B both contain p binary variables. First, a 2x2 table is constructed between A and B across their elements. The table will contain p entries across the four cells (see the example below). From this, different measures of likeness are computed.

For a training set of n samples, a new sample is compared to each, resulting in n similarity scores. These can be summarized into a single value; the median similarity is used by default by the scoring function.

For this method, the computational methods are fairly taxing for large data sets. The training set must be stored (albeit in a sparse matrix format) so object sizes may become large.

By default, the computations are run in parallel using all possible cores. To change this, call the setThreadOptions function in the RcppParallel package.

Value

A apd_similarity object.

Examples


data(qsar_binary)

jacc_sim <- apd_similarity(binary_tr)
jacc_sim

# plot the empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) for the training set:
library(ggplot2)
autoplot(jacc_sim)

# Example calculations for two samples:
A <- as.matrix(binary_tr[1, ])
B <- as.matrix(binary_tr[2, ])
xtab <- table(A, B)
xtab

# Jaccard statistic
xtab[2, 2] / (xtab[1, 2] + xtab[2, 1] + xtab[2, 2])

# Hamman statistic
((xtab[1, 1] + xtab[2, 2]) - (xtab[1, 2] + xtab[2, 1])) / sum(xtab)

# Faith statistic
(xtab[1, 1] + xtab[2, 2] / 2) / sum(xtab)

# Summarize across all training set similarities
mean_sim <- score(jacc_sim, new_data = binary_unk)
mean_sim
