CA {GDINA}

Calculate classification accuracy

Description

This function calculate test-, pattern- and attribute-level classification accuracy indices based on GDINA estimates from the GDINA function using approaches in Iaconangelo (2017) and Wang, Song, Chen, Meng, and Ding (2015). It is only applicable for dichotomous attributes.

Usage

CA(GDINA.obj, what = "MAP")

Arguments

GDINA.obj

estimated GDINA object returned from GDINA

what

what attribute estimates are used? Default is "MAP".

Value

a list with elements

tau

estimated test-level classification accuracy, see Iaconangelo (2017, Eq 2.2)

tau_l

estimated pattern-level classification accuracy, see Iaconangelo (2017, p. 13)

tau_k

estimated attribute-level classification accuracy, see Wang, et al (2015, p. 461 Eq 6)

CCM

Conditional classification matrix, see Iaconangelo (2017, p. 13)
