diagnosticErrors {crossval}

Compute Diagnostic Errors: Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value, Log Odds Ratio

Description

diagnosticErrors computes various diagnostic errors useful for evaluating the performance of a diagnostic test or a classifier: accuracy (acc), sensitivity (sens), specificity (spec), positive predictive value (ppv), negative predictive value (npv), and log-odds ratio (lor).

Usage

diagnosticErrors(cm)

Arguments

cm

a vector containing the true positives, false positives etc, as computed by confusionMatrix.

Details

The diagnostic errors are computed as follows:

acc = (TP+TN)/(FP+TN+TP+FN)

sens = TP/(TP+FN)

spec = TN/(FP+TN)

ppv = TP/(FP+TP)

npv = TN/(TN+FN)

lor = log(TP*TN/(FN*FP))

Value

diagnostic errors returns a vector containing various diagnostic errors.

# true labels
a = c("cancer", "cancer", "control", "control", "cancer", "control", "control")

# predicted labels
p = c("cancer", "control", "control", "control", "cancer", "control", "cancer")

# confusion matrix (a vector)
cm = confusionMatrix(a, p, negative="control")
