Description

Chooses the best empirical value of the cutoff alpha, based on the leave-one-out, resubstitution or sample-split estimates of the class labels.

Usage

RPalpha(RP.out, Y, p1)

Arguments

RP.out

The result of a call to RPParallel

Y

Vector of length n or n.val containing the training or validation dataset classes

p1

(Empirical) prior probability

Details
