add.meta.pred(siamcat, pred.names, std.meta = TRUE, feature.type='normalized', 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 |
feature.type |
On which type of features should the function work? Can be either "original", "filtered", or "normalized". Please only change this paramter if you know what you are doing! |

control output: |
