imputeTransdapter function

Impute transdapter

Wraps the importance adapter to accept NAs in input.

imputeTransdapter(adapter = getImpRfZ)

Arguments

• adapter: importance adapter to transform.

Returns

transformed importance adapter which can be fed into getImp argument of the Boruta function.

Note

An all-NA feature will be converted to all zeroes, which should be ok as a totally non-informative value with most methods, but it is not universally correct. Ideally, one should avoid having such features in input altogether.

Examples

## Not run:

set.seed(777)
data(srx)
srx_na<-srx
# Randomly punch 25 holes in the SRX data
holes<-25
holes<-cbind(
 sample(nrow(srx),holes,replace=TRUE),
 sample(ncol(srx),holes,replace=TRUE)
)
srx_na[holes]<-NA
# Use impute transdapter to mitigate them with internal imputation
Boruta(Y~.,data=srx_na,getImp=imputeTransdapter(getImpRfZ))
## End(Not run)
