Analyze bullet striations using nonparametric methods

HOW-TO

  1. Load Libraries
## 
## Attaching package: 'dplyr'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     filter, lag
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
## 
##     intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
## randomForest 4.6-14
## Type rfNews() to see new features/changes/bug fixes.

  1. Read in the bullet file data, and convert to the appropriate x3p format (if necessary):
    h44_g1 <- read_dat("~/Downloads/H44-G-1.dat", profiley=FALSE)
## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
##   x = col_double(),
##   y = col_double(),
##   value = col_character()
## )
    h44_gx1 <- read_dat("~/Downloads/H44-G-2.dat", profiley = FALSE)
## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
##   x = col_double(),
##   y = col_double(),
##   value = col_character()
## )
  1. Get the ideal cross sections
    cc_g1 <- bulletCheckCrossCut(path = "~/Downloads/H44-G-1.dat", bullet = h44_g1)
    cc_gx1 <- bulletCheckCrossCut(path = "~/Downloads/H44-GX-1.dat", bullet = h44_gx1)

    ccdata_g1 <- get_crosscut(bullet = h44_g1, x = cc_g1) 
    ccdata_gx1 <- get_crosscut(bullet = h44_gx1, x = cc_gx1)
  1. Get the groove locations
    grooves_g1 <- get_grooves(bullet = ccdata_g1)
    grooves_gx1 <- get_grooves(bullet = ccdata_gx1)
  1. Process the bullets to extract LOESS residuals
  1. Smooth the processed bullet profiles
  1. Detect peaks and valleys in the aligned signatures
    res <- bulletGetMaxCMS(filter(all_smoothed, bullet == "g1"), 
                           filter(all_smoothed, bullet == "gx1"), 
                           column = "l30", 
                           span = 25)
  1. Extract Features
    lofX <- res$bullets
    b12 <- unique(lofX$bullet)

    subLOFx1 <- subset(lofX, bullet==b12[1])
    subLOFx2 <- subset(lofX, bullet==b12[2]) 

    ys <- dplyr::intersect(round(subLOFx1$y, digits = 3), round(subLOFx2$y, digits = 3))

    idx1 <- which(round(subLOFx1$y, digits = 3) %in% ys)
    idx2 <- which(round(subLOFx2$y, digits = 3) %in% ys)

    g1_inc_x <- h44_g1$header.info$incrementX
    
    distr.dist <- sqrt(mean(((subLOFx1$val[idx1] - subLOFx2$val[idx2]) * g1_inc_x / 1000)^2, na.rm=TRUE))
    distr.sd <- sd(subLOFx1$val * g1_inc_x / 1000, na.rm=TRUE) + sd(subLOFx2$val * g1_inc_x / 1000, na.rm=TRUE)

    km <- which(res$lines$match)
    knm <- which(!res$lines$match)
    if (length(km) == 0) km <- c(length(knm)+1,0)
    if (length(knm) == 0) knm <- c(length(km)+1,0)

    signature.length <- min(nrow(subLOFx1), nrow(subLOFx2))

    doublesmoothed <- lofX %>%
      group_by(y) %>%
      mutate(avgl30 = mean(l30, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%
      ungroup() %>%
      mutate(smoothavgl30 = smoothloess(x = y, y = avgl30, span = 0.3),
             l50 = l30 - smoothavgl30)

    final_doublesmoothed <- doublesmoothed %>%
      filter(round(y, digits = 3) %in% ys)

    rough_cor <- cor(na.omit(final_doublesmoothed$l50[final_doublesmoothed$bullet == b12[1]]), 
                     na.omit(final_doublesmoothed$l50[final_doublesmoothed$bullet == b12[2]]),

      overlap = length(ys) / signature.length,
      matches = sum(res$lines$match) * (1000 / g1_inc_x) / length(ys),
      mismatches = sum(!res$lines$match) * 1000 / abs(diff(range(c(subLOFx1$y, subLOFx2$y)))),
      cms = res$maxCMS * (1000 / g1_inc_x) / length(ys),
      cms2 = bulletr::maxCMS(subset(res$lines, type==1 | is.na(type))$match) * (1000 / g1_inc_x) / length(ys),
      non_cms = bulletr::maxCMS(!res$lines$match) * 1000 / abs(diff(range(c(subLOFx1$y, subLOFx2$y)))),

      sum_peaks = sum(abs(res$lines$heights[res$lines$match])) * (1000 / g1_inc_x) / length(ys)
    )

    ccf <- t(as.data.frame(ccf_temp)) %>%
      as.data.frame() %>%
      dplyr::select(profile1_id = b1, profile2_id = b2, ccf, rough_cor, lag, D, sd_D, signature_length, overlap,
                    matches, mismatches, cms, non_cms, sum_peaks)
    ccf[,-(1:2)] <- lapply(ccf[,-(1:2)], function(x) { as.numeric(as.character(x)) })
  1. Get Predicted Probability of Match
