ce {mlr3measures}

Classification Error

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted labels in multiclass classification tasks.

Usage

ce(truth, response, sample_weights = NULL, ...)

Arguments

truth

(factor())
True (observed) labels. Must have the same levels and length as response.

response

(factor())
Predicted response labels. Must have the same levels and length as truth.

sample_weights

(numeric())
Vector of non-negative and finite sample weights. Must have the same length as truth. The vector gets automatically normalized to sum to one. Defaults to equal sample weights.

...

(any)
Additional arguments. Currently ignored.

Details

The Classification Error is defined as

\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n w_i \left( t_i \neq r_i \right).

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Meta Information

Examples

set.seed(1)
lvls = c("a", "b", "c")
truth = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
response = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
ce(truth, response)
