Correlation

library(TangledFeatures)

Introduction

We attempt to link similar features on the basis of correlation. TangledFeatures automatically detects the type of correlation needed between two features. We currently generate the correlations between numeric, unordered categorical variables and ordered categorical variables You can set the correlation type based upon the data set you have within the package.

You can also generate the correlation heat map for the entire data set as well as the interconnected network graph

Correlation types

Numeric-to-Numeric Correlation: Set by the cor1 metric. Currently it defaults to Pearson correlation
Numeric-to-Factor(Unordered): Set by the cor2 metric. Currently it defaults to PointBiserial correlation
Numeric-to-Factor(Ordered): Set by the cor3 metric. Currently it defaults to Kendall correlation
Factor(Unordered)-to-Factor(Ordered) Set by the cor3 metric. Currently it defaults to a chi Squared test
Factor(Unordered)-to-Factor(Unordered) Set by the cor3 metric. Currently it defaults to Cramer’s V
Factor(Ordered)-to-Factor(Ordered) Set by the cor3 metric. Currently it defaults to Polychoric correlation

Correlation Visualization

Set plot = TRUE in the initial function

We can generate the heat map from the final TangledFeatures object

plot_obj <- TangledFeatures(Data)$Correlation_heatmap
plot(plot_obj)

We can generate the interconnected graph as well

plot_obj <- TangledFeatures(Data)$Graph_plot
plot(plot_obj)

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
