#' Feature Selection in NMF Models
#' 
#' The function \code{featureScore} implements different methods to computes 
#' basis-specificity scores for each feature in the data.
#' 
#' One of the properties of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is that is tend to 
#' produce sparse representation of the observed data, leading to a natural 
#' application to bi-clustering, that characterises groups of samples by 
#' a small number of features.
#' 
#' In NMF models, samples are grouped according to the basis 
#' components that contributes the most to each sample, i.e. the basis 
#' components that have the greatest coefficient in each column of the coefficient 
#' matrix (see \code{\link{predict,NMF-method}}).
#' Each group of samples is then characterised by a set of features selected
#' based on basis-specifity scores that are computed on the basis matrix. 
#' 
#' @section Feature scores: 
#' The function \code{featureScore} can compute basis-specificity scores using 
#' the following methods:
#' 
#' \describe{
#' 
#' \item{\sQuote{kim}}{ Method defined by \cite{KimH2007}.
#' 
#' The score for feature \eqn{i} is defined as: 
#' \deqn{S_i = 1 + \frac{1}{\log_2 k} \sum_{q=1}^k p(i,q) \log_2 p(i,q)}{
#' S_i = 1 + 1/log2(k) sum_q [ p(i,q) log2( p(i,q) ) ] },
#' 
#' where \eqn{p(i,q)} is the probability that the \eqn{i}-th feature contributes 
#' to basis \eqn{q}: \deqn{p(i,q) = \frac{W(i,q)}{\sum_{r=1}^k W(i,r)} }{
#' p(i,q) = W(i,q) / (sum_r W(i,r)) }
#' 
#' The feature scores are real values within the range [0,1].
#' The higher the feature score the more basis-specific the corresponding feature.
#' }
#' 
#' \item{\sQuote{max}}{Method defined by \cite{Carmona-Saez2006}.
#' 
#' The feature scores are defined as the row maximums.   
#' }
#' 
#' }
#' 
#' @param object an object from which scores/features are computed/extracted
#' @param ... extra arguments to allow extension 
#' 
#' @return \code{featureScore} returns a numeric vector of the length the number 
#' of rows in \code{object} (i.e. one score per feature). 
#'  
#' @export
#' @rdname scores
#' @inline
#' 
setGeneric('featureScore', function(object, ...) standardGeneric('featureScore') )
#' Computes feature scores on a given matrix, that contains the basis component in columns. 
setMethod('featureScore', 'matrix', 
	function(object, method=c('kim', 'max')){
		
		method <- match.arg(method)
		score <- switch(method,
				
				kim = {
					#for each row compute the score
					s <- apply(object, 1, function(g){
								g <- abs(g)
								p_i <- g/sum(g)
								crossprod(p_i, log2(p_i))
							})
					# scale, translate and return the result
					1 + s / log2(ncol(object))		
				}
				, max = {
					apply(object, 1L, function(x) max(abs(x)))
				}

)
#' Computes feature scores on the basis matrix of an NMF model.
setMethod('featureScore', 'NMF', 
	function(object, ...){
		featureScore(basis(object), ...)
	}
)


#' The function \code{extractFeatures} implements different methods to select the 
#' most basis-specific features of each basis component.
#' 
#' @section Feature selection:
#' The function \code{extractFeatures} can select features using the following 
#' methods:
#' \describe{
#' \item{\sQuote{kim}}{ uses \cite{KimH2007} scoring schema and
#' feature selection method.
#' 
#' The features are first scored using the function
#' \code{featureScore} with method \sQuote{kim}.
#' Then only the features that fulfil both following criteria are retained:
#' 
#' \itemize{
#' \item score greater than \eqn{\hat{\mu} + 3 \hat{\sigma}}, where \eqn{\hat{\mu}}
#' and \eqn{\hat{\sigma}} are the median and the median absolute deviation
#' (MAD) of the scores respectively;
#' 
#' \item the maximum contribution to a basis component is greater than the median
#' of all contributions (i.e. of all elements of W).
#' }
#' 
#' }
#' 
#' \item{\sQuote{max}}{ uses the selection method used in the \code{bioNMF} 
#' software package and described in \cite{Carmona-Saez2006}.
#' 
#' For each basis component, the features are first sorted by decreasing 
#' contribution.
#' Then, one selects only the first consecutive features whose highest 
#' contribution in the basis matrix is effectively on the considered basis. 
#' }
#' 
#' }
#'  
#' @return \code{extractFeatures} returns the selected features as a list of indexes,
#' a single integer vector or an object of the same class as \code{object} 
#' that only contains the selected features. 
#' 
#' @rdname scores
#' @inline
#' @export
#' 
setGeneric('extractFeatures', function(object, ...) standardGeneric('extractFeatures') )

# internal functio to trick extractFeatures when format='subset'
.extractFeaturesObject <- local({
	.object <- NULL
	function(object){
		# first call resets .object
		if( missing(object) ){
			res <- .object
			.object <<- NULL
			res
		}else # set .object for next call
			.object <<- object
	}
})

#' Select features on a given matrix, that contains the basis component in columns.
#' 
#' @param method scoring or selection method.
#' It specifies the name of one of the method described in sections \emph{Feature scores} 
#' and \emph{Feature selection}. 
#' 
#' Additionally for \code{extractFeatures}, it may be an integer vector that 
#' indicates the number of top most contributing features to 
#' extract from each column of \code{object}, when ordered in decreasing order, 
#' or a numeric value between 0 and 1 that indicates the minimum relative basis 
#' contribution above which a feature is selected (i.e. basis contribution threshold).
#' In the case of a single numeric value (integer or percentage), it is used for all columns.
#' 
#' Note that \code{extractFeatures(x, 1)} means relative contribution threshold of
#' 100\%, to select the top contributing features one must explicitly specify 
#' an integer value as in \code{extractFeatures(x, 1L)}.
#' However, if all elements in methods are > 1, they are automatically treated as 
#' if they were integers: \code{extractFeatures(x, 2)} means the top-2 most 
#' contributing features in each component.
#' @param format output format. 
#' The following values are accepted:
#' \describe{
#' \item{\sQuote{list}}{(default) returns a list with one element per column in 
#' \code{object}, each containing the indexes of the selected features, as an 
#' integer vector.
#' If \code{object} has row names, these are used to name each index vector. 
#' Components for which no feature were selected are assigned a \code{NA} value.}
#' 
#' \item{\sQuote{combine}}{ returns all indexes in a single vector.
#' Duplicated indexes are made unique if \code{nodups=TRUE} (default).}
#' 
#' \item{\sQuote{subset}}{ returns an object of the same class as \code{object}, 
#' but subset with the selected indexes, so that it contains data only from 
#' basis-specific features.}
#' }
#' 
#' @param nodups logical that indicates if duplicated indexes, 
#' i.e. features selected on multiple basis components (which should in 
#' theory not happen), should be only appear once in the result.
#' Only used when \code{format='combine'}.
#'
