how do I set missing values using PmmlTransformation in r - r

I have a dataframe in r which has some NA values in it. How can I use pmmlTransformations to set a missing value treatment for these fields. Ive seen that you can set missingValue treatments when transforming the data (normalization, field mapping, etc) but I would like to know how to just set the missing values with out having to normalize the data.
library(pmml)
library(pmmlTransformations)
df <- data.frame(id=1:5, y=1:5, x=c(2,4,3,NA,8))
dataBox <- WrapData(df)
# update the wrapped data to set x=1 when it its NA
fit <- glm(formula=y~x, data = dataBox$data)
pmml(fit, transforms=dataBox)
Many thanks in advance

If you just want to add the missingValueReplacement=1 attribute to all MiningField elements in the PMML document, then append unknownValue = 1 to your pmml::pmml.glm function call:
library(pmml)
df <- data.frame(id=1:5, y=1:5, x=c(2,4,3,NA,8))
# Set missing values to 1 before training a GLM model
df$x[is.na(df$x)] = 1
fit <- glm(formula=y~x, data = df)
# Encode information about the missing value transformation into the PMML document
pmml = pmml.glm(fit, unknownValue = 1)
saveXML(pmml, "glm.pmml")
Sure, the unknownValue parameter appears to be deprecated, but it does exactly what you need without firing up a complex sequence of transformations.

You can use the unknownValue parameter:
pmml.glm(glm, transforms = dataBox, unknownValue = 0)
but this will be applied to all you variables, including your target variable.
I wrote a fix that allows specifying replacement values for each of the variables:
https://github.com/guleatoma/pmml
Using this version of the package you can do this:
pmml.glm(glm, transforms = dataBox, unknownValue = list("x1" = 0, "x2" = 100))

Library "TableOne" multiple comparisons. Calculate line by line p-values

I received a comment from a reviewer who wanted to have all the p-values for each line of specific variables levels in a demographic characteristic table (Table 1). Even though the request appears quite strange (and inexact) to me, I would like to agree with his suggestion.
library(tableone)
## Load data
library(survival); data(pbc)
# drop ID from variable list
vars <- names(pbc)[-1]
## Create Table 1 stratified by trt (can add more stratifying variables)
tableOne <- CreateTableOne(vars = vars, strata = c("trt"), data = pbc, factorVars = c("status","edema","stage"))
print(tableOne, nonnormal = c("bili","chol","copper","alk.phos","trig"), exact = c("status","stage"), smd = TRUE)
the output:
I need to have the p-values for each level of the variables status, edema and stage, with Bonferroni correction. I went through the documentation without success.
In addition, is it correct to use chi-squared to compare sample sizes across rows?
UPDATE:
I'm not sure if my approach is correct, however I would like to share it with you. I generated for the variable status a dummy variable for each strata, than I calculated the chisq .
library(tableone)
## Load data
library(survival); data(pbc)
d <- pbc[,c("status", "trt")]
# Convert dummy variables
d$status.0 <- ifelse(d$status==0, 1,0)
d$status.1 <- ifelse(d$status==1, 1,0)
d$status.2 <- ifelse(d$status==2, 1,0)
t <- rbind(
chisq.test(d$status.0, d$trt),
# p-value = 0.7202
chisq.test(d$status.1, d$trt),
# p-value = 1
chisq.test(d$status.2, d$trt)
#p-value = 0.7818
)
t
BONFERRONI ADJ FOR MULTIPLE COMPARISONS:
p <- t[,"p.value"]
p.adjust(p, method = "bonferroni")
This question was posted some time ago, so I supose you already answered the reviewer.
I don't really understand why computing adjusted p values for just three varibles. In fact, adjusting p values depends on the number of comparisons made. If you use p.adjust() with a vector of 3 p values, results will not really be "adjusted" by the amount of comparison made (you really did more than a dozen and a half!)
I show how to extract all p-values so you can compute the adjusted ones.
To extract pValues from package tableOne there is a way calling object attributes (explained first), and two quick and dirty ways (at the bottom part).
To extract them, first I copy your code to create your tableOne:
library(tableone)
## Load data
library(survival); data(pbc)
# drop ID from variable list
vars <- names(pbc)[-1]
## Create Table 1 stratified by trt (can add more stratifying variables)
tableOne <- CreateTableOne(vars = vars, strata = c("trt"), data = pbc, factorVars = c("status","edema","stage"))
You can see what your "tableOne" object has via attributes()
attributes(tableOne)
You can see a tableOne usually has a table for continuous and categorical variables. You can use attributes() in them too
attributes(tableOne$CatTable)
# you can notice $pValues
Now you know "where" the pValues are, you can extract them with attr()
attr(tableOne$CatTable, "pValues")
Something similar with numerical variables:
attributes(tableOne$ContTable)
# $pValues are there
attr(tableOne$ContTable, "pValues")
You have pValues for Normal and NonNormal variables.
As you set them before, you can extract both
mypCont <- attr(tableOne$ContTable, "pValues") # put them in an object
nonnormal = c("bili","chol","copper","alk.phos","trig") # copied from your code
mypCont[rownames(mypCont) %in% c(nonnormal), "pNonNormal"] # extract NonNormal
"%!in%" <- Negate("%in%")
mypCont[rownames(mypCont) %!in% c(nonnormal), "pNonNormal"] # extract Normal
All that said, and your pValues extracted, I think there are two much more convenient quick and dirty ways to accomplish the same:
Quick and dirty way A: using dput() with your printed tableOne. Then search in the console where the pValues are and copy-paste them to the script, to store them in an object
Quick and dirty way B: If you look in tableOne vignette there is an "Exporting" section, you can use print(tableOne, quote = TRUE) and then just copy and paste to a spreadsheet (like LibreOffice, Excel...).
Then I would select the column with pValue, transpose it, and get it back to R, to compute adjusted p values with p.adjust() and copy them back to the spreadsheet for journal submission

"Input datasets must be dataframes" error in kamila package in R

I have a mixed type data set, one continuous variable, and eight categorical variables, so I wanted to try kamila clustering. It gives me an error when I use one continuous variable, but when I use two continuous variables it is working.
library(kamila)
data <- read.csv("mixed.csv",header=FALSE,sep=";")
conInd <- 9
conVars <- data[,conInd]
conVars <- data.frame(scale(conVars))
catVarsFac <- data[,c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)]
catVarsFac[] <- lapply(catVarsFac, factor)
kamRes <- kamila(conVars, catVarsFac, numClust=5, numInit=10,calcNumClust = "ps",numPredStrCvRun = 10, predStrThresh = 0.5)
Error in kamila(conVar = conVar[testInd, ], catFactor =
catFactor[testInd, : Input datasets must be dataframes
I think the problem is that the function assumes that you have at least two of both data types (i.e. >= 2 continuous variables, and >= 2 categorical variables). It looks like you supplied a single column index (conInd = 9, just column 9), so you have only one continuous variable in your data. Try adding another continuous variable to your continuous data.
I had the same problem (with categoricals) and this approach fixed it for me.
I think the ultimate source of the error in the program is at around line 170 of the source code. Here's the relevant snippet...
numObs <- nrow(conVar)
numInTest <- floor(numObs/2)
for (cvRun in 1:numPredStrCvRun) {
for (ithNcInd in 1:length(numClust)) {
testInd <- sample(numObs, size = numInTest, replace = FALSE)
testClust <- kamila(conVar = conVar[testInd,],
catFactor = catFactor[testInd, ],
numClust = numClust[ithNcInd],
numInit = numInit, conWeights = conWeights,
catWeights = catWeights, maxIter = maxIter,
conInitMethod = conInitMethod, catBw = catBw,
verbose = FALSE)
When the code partitions your data into a training set, it's selecting rows from a one-column data.frame, but that returns a vector by default in that case. So you end up with "not a data.frame" even though you did supply a data.frame. That's where the error comes from.
If you can't dig up another variable to add to your data, you could edit the code such that the calls to kamila in the cvRun for loop wrap the data.frame() function around any subsetted conVar or catFactor, e.g.
testClust <- kamila(conVar = data.frame(conVar[testInd,]),
catFactor = data.frame(catFactor[testInd,], ... )
and just save that as your own version of the function called say, my_kamila, which you could use instead.
Hope this helps.

Pass df column names to nested equation in Graph Printing Function

I need some clarification on the primary post on Passing a data.frame column name to a function
I need to create a function that will take a testSet, trainSet, and colName(aka predictor) as inputs to a function that prints a plot of the dataset with a GAM model trend line.
The issue I run into is:
plot.model = function(predictor, train, test) {
mod = gam(Response ~ s(train[[predictor]], spar = 1), data = train)
...
}
#Function Call
plot.model("Predictor1", 1.0, crime.train, crime.test)
I can't simply pass the predictor as a string into the gam function, but I also can't use a string to index the data frame values as shown in the link above. Somehow, I need to pass the colName key to the game function. This issue occurs in other similar scenarios regarding plotting.
plot <- ggplot(data = test, mapping = aes(x=predictor, y=ViolentCrimesPerPop))
Again, I can't pass a string value for the column name and I can't pass the column values either.
Does anyone have a generic solution for these situations. I apologize if the answer is buried in the above link, but it's not clear to me if it is.
Note: A working gam function call looks like this:
mod = gam(Response ~ s(Predictor1, spar = 1.0), data = train)
Where the train set is a data frame with column names "Response" & "Predictor".
Use aes_string instead of aes when you pass a column name as string.
plot <- ggplot(data = test, mapping = aes_string(x=predictor, y=ViolentCrimesPerPop))
For gam function:: Example which is copied from gam function's documentation. I have used vector, scalar is even easier. Its just using paste with a collapse parameter.
library(mgcv)
set.seed(2) ## simulate some data...
dat <- gamSim(1,n=400,dist="normal",scale=2)
# String manipulate for formula
formula <- as.formula(paste("y~s(", paste(colnames(dat)[2:5], collapse = ")+s("), ")", sep =""))
b <- gam(formula, data=dat)
is same as
b <- gam(y~s(x0)+s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3),data=dat)

PLS in R: Predicting new observations returns Fitted values instead

In the past few days I have developed multiple PLS models in R for spectral data (wavebands as explanatory variables) and various vegetation parameters (as individual response variables). In total, the dataset comprises of 56. The first 28 (training set) have been used for model calibration, now all I want to do is to predict the response values for the remaining 28 observations in the tesset. For some reason, however, R keeps on the returning the fitted values of the calibration set for a given number of components rather than predictions for the independent test set. Here is what the model looks like in short.
# first simulate some data
set.seed(123)
bands=101
data <- data.frame(matrix(runif(56*bands),ncol=bands))
colnames(data) <- paste0(1:bands)
data$height <- rpois(56,10)
data$fbm <- rpois(56,10)
data$nitrogen <- rpois(56,10)
data$carbon <- rpois(56,10)
data$chl <- rpois(56,10)
data$ID <- 1:56
data <- as.data.frame(data)
caldata <- data[1:28,] # define model training set
valdata <- data[29:56,] # define model testing set
# define explanatory variables (x)
spectra <- caldata[,1:101]
# build PLS model using training data only
library(pls)
refl.pls <- plsr(height ~ spectra, data = caldata, ncomp = 10, validation =
"LOO", jackknife = TRUE)
It was then identified that a model comprising of 3 components yielded the best performance without over-fitting. Hence, the following command was used to predict the values of the 28 observations in the testing set using the above calibrated PLS model with 3 components:
predict(refl.pls, ncomp = 3, newdata = valdata)
Sensible as the output may seem, I soon discovered that all this piece of code generates are the fitted values of the PLS model for the calibration/training data, rather than predictions. I discovered this because the below code, in which newdata = is omitted, yields identical results.
predict(refl.pls, ncomp = 3)
Surely something must be going wrong, although I cannot seem to find out what specifically is. Is there someone out there who can, and is willing to help me move in the right direction?
I think the problem is with the nature of the input data. Looking at ?plsr and str(yarn) that goes with the example, plsr requires a very specific data frame that I find tricky to work with. The input data frame should have a matrix as one of its elements (in your case, the spectral data). I think the following works correctly (note I changed the size of the training set so that it wasn't half the original data, for troubleshooting):
library("pls")
set.seed(123)
bands=101
spectra = matrix(runif(56*bands),ncol=bands)
DF <- data.frame(spectra = I(spectra),
height = rpois(56,10),
fbm = rpois(56,10),
nitrogen = rpois(56,10),
carbon = rpois(56,10),
chl = rpois(56,10),
ID = 1:56)
class(DF$spectra) <- "matrix" # just to be certain, it was "AsIs"
str(DF)
DF$train <- rep(FALSE, 56)
DF$train[1:20] <- TRUE
refl.pls <- plsr(height ~ spectra, data = DF, ncomp = 10, validation =
"LOO", jackknife = TRUE, subset = train)
res <- predict(refl.pls, ncomp = 3, newdata = DF[!DF$train,])
Note that I got the spectral data into the data frame as a matrix by protecting it with I which equates to AsIs. There might be a more standard way to do this, but it works. As I said, to me a matrix inside of a data frame is not completely intuitive or easy to grok.
As to why your version didn't work quite right, I think the best explanation is that everything needs to be in the one data frame you pass to plsr for the data sources to be completely unambiguous.

Perform operation on each imputed dataset in R's MICE

How can I perform an operation (like subsetting or adding a calculated column) on each imputed dataset in an object of class mids from R's package mice? I would like the result to still be a mids object.
Edit: Example
library(mice)
data(nhanes)
# create imputed datasets
imput = mice(nhanes)
The imputed datasets are stored as a list of lists
imput$imp
where there are rows only for the observations with imputation for the given variable.
The original (incomplete) dataset is stored here:
imput$data
For example, how would I create a new variable calculated as chl/2 in each of the imputed datasets, yielding a new mids object?
This can be done easily as follows -
Use complete() to convert a mids object to a long-format data.frame:
long1 <- complete(midsobj1, action='long', include=TRUE)
Perform whatever manipulations needed:
long1$new.var <- long1$chl/2
long2 <- subset(long1, age >= 5)
use as.mids() to convert back manipulated data to mids object:
midsobj2 <- as.mids(long2)
Now you can use midsobj2 as required. Note that the include=TRUE (used to include the original data with missing values) is needed for as.mids() to compress the long-formatted data properly. Note that prior to mice v2.25 there was a bug in the as.mids() function (see this post https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/158327/69413)
EDIT: According to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/34859264/4269699 (from what is essentially a duplicate question) you can also edit the mids object directly by accessing $data and $imp. So for example
midsobj2<-midsobj1
midsobj2$data$new.var <- midsobj2$data$chl/2
midsobj2$imp$new.var <- midsobj2$imp$chl/2
You will run into trouble though if you want to subset $imp or if you want to use $call, so I wouldn't recommend this solution in general.
Another option is to calculate the variables before the imputation and place restrictions on them.
library(mice)
# Create the additional variable - this will have missing
nhanes$extra <- nhanes$chl / 2
# Change the method of imputation for extra, so that it always equals chl/2
# Change the predictor matrix so only chl predicts extra
ini <- mice(nhanes, max = 0, print = FALSE)
meth <- ini$meth
meth["extra"] <- "~I(chl / 2)"
pred <- ini$pred # extra isn't used to predict
pred["extra", "chl"] <- 1
# Imputations
imput <- mice(nhanes, seed = 1, pred = pred, meth = meth, print = FALSE)
There are examples in mice: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations in R.
There is an overload of with that can help you here
with(imput, chl/2)
the documentation is given at ?with.mids
There's a function for this in the basecamb package:
library(basecamb)
apply_function_to_imputed_data(mids_object, function)
