Contifiers {lingua}R Documentation

Contifiers - Continuous-data association quantifiers

Description

Contifiers are functors for aggregation of [0,1]-interval valued pairs when we look for relations (associations) between the pair items. Particular value pairs are for data cases, i.e. individual experiments or shopping carts.

Usage

contifiers.thresholds(thresh)
contifiers.modes(modes)
contifiers.aggregate(vecx, vecy)

Arguments

thresh either none or [0,1] value for the threshold
modes either none or name-pair for directionality: one of "mutual", "directional", "inverse", and distance enumeration: one of "minimum", "product", "bold" modes
vecx,vecy [0,1]-valued data vectors to aggregate

Details

The directional contifiers are for situations like "when A occurs then B frequently occurs too". It can be e.g. for expression of a gene b is triggered by a gene a. The mutual contifiers are for situations when the relation is bidirectional.

Value

thresholds and modes give the set option values, aggregate gives the aggregation results.

## initial settings
contifiers.thresholds(c(0.1))
contifiers.modes(c("dir", "pro"))
## some random vectors
vecx <- runif(20)
vecy <- runif(20)
## making the aggregation
contifiers.aggregate(vecx, vecy)
