compare-methods {Patterns}

Some basic criteria of comparison between actual and inferred network.

Description

Allows comparison between actual and inferred network.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'omics_network,omics_network,numeric'
compare(Net, Net_inf, nv = 1)

Arguments

Net

A omics_network object containing the actual network.

Net_inf

A omics_network object containing the inferred network.

nv

A number that indicates at which level of cutoff the comparison should be done.

Value

A vector containing : sensitivity, predictive positive value, the usual F-score (2*ppv*sens/(sppvpe+sens)), the 1/2 ponderated Fscore ((1+0.5^2)*ppv*sens/(ppv/4+sens)) and the 2 ponderated Fscore ((1+2^2)*ppv*sens/(ppv*4+sens)).

Methods

list("signature(Net = \"omics_network\", Net_inf = \"omics_network\", nv = \"numeric\")")

Net

A omics_network object containing the actual network.

Net_inf

A omics_network object containing the inferred network.

nv

A number that indicates at which level of cutoff the comparison should be done.
