pamr.indeterminate {pamr}

A function that takes estimate class probabilities and produces a class prediction or indeterminate prediction

Description

A function that takes estimate class probabilities and produces a class prediction or indeterminate prediction

Usage

pamr.indeterminate(prob, mingap=0) 

Arguments

prob

Estimated class probabilities, from pamr.predict with type="posterior")

mingap

Minimum difference between highest and second highest probability. If difference is < mingap, prediction is set to indeterminate (NA)
