evalMetrics {Orcs}

Compute Selected Evaluation Metrics

Description

Compute selected evaluation metrics for binary (i.e. two-class) confusion matrices.

Usage

evalMetrics(mat, type = c("accuracy", "precision", "recall"))

Arguments

mat

Binary confusion matrix (2-by-2; see Examples).

type

Target evaluation metric as character, defaults to "accuracy". Other available options are "precision" and "recall".

Value

A single numeric.

Examples

in1 = matrix(c(96, 4, 8, 19), nc = 2L, byrow = TRUE)
rownames(in1) = c("Condition Positive", "Condition Negative")
colnames(in1) = c("Predicted Positive", "Predicted Negative")

evalMetrics(in1) # default: "accuracy"
evalMetrics(in1, "precision")
evalMetrics(in1, "recall")

in2 = matrix(c(26, 17, 7, 400), nc = 2, byrow = TRUE)
evalMetrics(in2, "precision")
evalMetrics(in2, "recall")
