This function adds metadata to the feature matrix to be later used as predictors
add.meta.pred(siamcat, pred.names = NULL, std.meta = TRUE, verbose = 1)
siamcat | object of class siamcat-class |
---|---|
pred.names | vector of names of the variables within the metadata to be added to the feature matrix as predictors |
std.meta | boolean, should added metadata features be standardized?,
defaults to |
verbose | control output: |
an object of class siamcat-class with metadata added to the features
