--factor_addition

Switch

--factor_addition

Description

Appends the selected adaptation factors to the language features, rather than only using them to adapt the language features.

Argument and Default Value

No argument. Boolean switch, default: False. Can be used alone (sets internal integrationMethod to "plus") or combined with --factor_adaptation/--res_factor_adaptation (appending "_plus" to their integration method instead).

Details

Verified: ran successfully combined with --res_factor_adaptation, --paired_factors, and --factor_selection_type pca. When given alone (without --factor_adaptation/--res_factor_adaptation) and no --adaptation_factors, falls back to using all of --outcome_controls as the factor pool.

Other Switches

Optional Switches:

• --factor_adaptation, --res_factor_adaptation

• --adaptation_factors
