crossvalidation {gosset}

Cross-validation

Description

Methods for measuring the performance of a predictive model on sets of test data in Bradley-Terry model from psychotree, Generalized Linear and Generalized Nonlinear models from gnm, and Plackett-Luce model from PlackettLuce

Usage

crossvalidation(formula, data, k = 10, folds = NULL, seed = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bttree'
AIC(object, newdata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bttree'
deviance(object, newdata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pltree'
deviance(object, newdata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'gnm'
AIC(object, newdata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'gnm'
deviance(object, newdata = NULL, ...)

Arguments

formula

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to be fitted, of the form y ~ x1 + ... + xn

data

a data frame (or object coercible by as.data.frame to a data frame) containing the variables in the model

k

an integer for the number of bins in the cross-validation

folds

an optional vector or list of vectors specifying the k-folds in the cross-validation

seed

integer, the seed for random number generation. If NULL (the default), gosset will set the seed randomly

...

additional arguments passed the methods of the chosen model

object

a model object

newdata

a data.frame with test data

Value

an object of class gosset_cv with the cross-validation goodness-of-fit estimates, which are:

AIC

Akaike Information Criterion

deviance

Model deviance

logLik

Log-Likelihood

MaxLik

Maximum likelihood pseudo R-squared

CraggUhler

Cragg and Uhler's pseudo R-squared

McFadden

McFadden pseudo R-squared

kendallTau

the Kendall correlation coefficient
