Calculates Information Gain (2-way Interaction Gain) of a discrete data.frame

Description

InfoGAIN=H(S)−H(S∣X)InfoGAIN = H(S) - H(S|X), where H(S)H(S) is the difference in the Shannon's entropy of the system SS before a new attribute XX is introduced, and H(S∣X)H(S|X) is the entropy of the system after the attribute XX has been introduced.

Usage

Arguments

df

A discrete data.frame
inAtt

An input column of the data.frame df (string)

speedUp

A (boolean) parameter. If TRUE, indicates whether the pairs of attributes with Information Gain equal to zero (on the 4th decimal) should be pruned. This speeds up calculations for larger datasets. By default it is turned off (i.e. set to FALSE).

Value

Calculates 3-Way Interactions

Description

Formula: I(X;Y;C)=I(X,Y;C)−IG(X;C)−IG(Y;C)I(X;Y;C) = I(X,Y;C) - IG(X;C) - IG(Y;C), where I(X;Y;C)I(X;Y;C) is 3-way Interaction gain of the attributes XX and YY, given the context (i.e. class) attribute CC. Hence, I(X,Y;C)I(X,Y;C) is a joint 2-way interaction gain (i.e. Information Gain) of the attributes XX and YY, and I(X;C)I(X;C) and I(Y;C)I(Y;C) are 2-way Interaction gains (i.e. Information Gains) of the attributes XX and YY, respectively.

Usage

interactions3Way(df, classAtt, speedUp = FALSE)

Arguments

df

A discrete data.frame
classAtt

A class column of the df (string)
speedUp

A (boolean) parameter. If TRUE, indicates whether the pairs of attributes with Information Gain equal to zero (on the 4th decimal) should be pruned. This speeds up calculations for larger datasets. By default it is turned off (i.e. set to FALSE).

Examples

interactions3Way(golf, "Play")
