Calculate Error Measures
Description
Computes various error measures for the classification of a data set.
Details
Let be the number of correctly classified matches
(true positives),
the number of correctly classified
non-matches (true negatives),
and
the number of misclassified non-matches and matches
(false positives and false negatives). The calculated error measures are:
- alpha error
- beta error
- accuracy
- precision
- sensitivity
- specificity
- ppv
Positive predictive value:
- npv
Negative predictive value:
Value
A list with components alpha
, beta
, accuracy
,
precision
, sensitivity
, specificity
, ppv
and
npv
, each a number in the range .
Methods
signature(object = "RecLinkResult")
-
Method for S3 result objects of class
"RecLinkResult"
signature(object = "RLResult")
-
Method for S4 objects of class
"RLResult"
, from classification of big data objects (see"RLBigData"
,"RLBigDataDedup"
,"RLBigDataLinkage"
)
A wrapper function errorMeasures(result)
exists for compatibility with package version
0.2.
Note
Record pairs with unknown true matching status (e.g. due to missing
values in the argument identity
to RLBigDataDedup
)
and possible links are not counted, which can distort the values returned
by this function.
