MLP {metrica} | R Documentation |
Mean Lack of Precision (MLP)
Description
It estimates the MLP, the unsystematic error component to the Mean Squared Error (MSE), for a continuous predicted-observed dataset following Correndo et al. (2021).
Usage
MLP(data = NULL, obs, pred, tidy = FALSE, na.rm = TRUE)
Arguments
data |
(Optional) argument to call an existing data frame containing the data. |
obs |
Vector with observed values (numeric). |
pred |
Vector with predicted values (numeric). |
tidy |
Logical operator (TRUE/FALSE) to decide the type of return. TRUE returns a data.frame, FALSE returns a list; Default : FALSE. |
na.rm |
Logic argument to remove rows with missing values (NA). Default is na.rm = TRUE. |
Details
The MLP represents the unsystematic (random) component of the MSE. It is obtained via a symmetric decomposition of the MSE (invariant to predicted-observed orientation) using a symmetric regression line. The MLP is equal to the sum of unsystematic differences divided by the sample size (n). The greater the value the greater the random noise of the predictions. For the formula and more details, see online-documentation
Value
an object of class numeric
within a list
(if tidy = FALSE) or within a
data frame
(if tidy = TRUE).
