Changes in version 1.1 (2021-02-23) o provide automatic discretization options of VIKAMINE kernel for numeric attributes, they are internally discretized SDTaskConfig provides new options. defaults: discretize = TRUE, nbins = 3 o Improved/extended tests for this. Changes in version 1.0 (2020-04-22) o internal enhancements in subgroup.jar, i.e., the VIKAMINE kernel library, e.g. according to better error messages relating to the R connection. o Improved documentation and examples. Changes in version 0.9 (2020-03-04) o internal enhancements in subgroup.jar, i.e., the VIKAMINE kernel library o rsubgroup requires >= Java 8 (i.e., >= java.version 1.8) Changes in version 0.8 o Improvements o included new SDTaskConfig#parfilter: Provides the minimal improvement value for the postfilter (for min-improve-* filters), or the applied significance level (P) for sig-improve-* filters. o updated org.vikamine.kernel version o package-internal: fixed Java requirements (string) in DESCRIPTION o Bug fixes. o fixed bug in automatic discretization used in rsubgroup VIKAMINE kernel Changes in version 0.7 o Improvements o document setting Java heap space before loading the rsubgroup library. o Improve error handling (exception signaling) when running subgroup discovery using an ARFF file directly. o SDTaskConfig now provides an option mintp, that allows to set the minimal true positives threshold to be contained in a subgroup, which is usually very effective for pruning. o The Pattern class now contains a list of selection expressions (selectors) for the subgroup, not only the description. Using the is.pattern.matching function, a match of a pattern and a data instance can be checked now. o In SDTaskConfig, postfilter can be a single filter or a vector of filters, that are then applied in order on the results. This allows e.g., the combination of minimal improvement filtering with weighted covering post-processing. o Implement/enable new quality function (Adjusted residuals, cf. Agresti 2007) ==> qf="ares" o For a binary target variable, the resulting patterns now also store the chi-squared value comparing subgroup and population w.r.t. the target in the parameters field. o ToDataFrame shows the chi-squared value for a binary target. o Bug fixes: o fix providing attributes=NULL (i.e., automatically include all attributes) into subgroup discovery o fix max-attribute-value bug in SGSelectorGenerator, causing the inclusion of two few selectors in subgroup discovery methods Changes in version 0.6 (2014-09-11) o Improvements: o optimizations in the beam search algorithm o significant memory optimization (dataset storage, access) o ARFF: enable import of "empty" attributes, i.e., with an empty value domain (this can occur, for example, when importing columns with only 'NA' in R) o Bug fixes: o exclude target from subgroup attributes o fix loading of ARFF file, for attributes/values with trailing spaces
