P-Values to Classify New Observations
Description
Computes nonparametric p-values for the potential class memberships of new observations.
Usage
pvs(NewX, X, Y, method = c('gaussian', 'knn', 'wnn', 'logreg'), ...)
Arguments
NewX |
data matrix consisting of one or several new observations (row vectors) to be classified. |
X |
matrix containing training observations, where each observation is a row vector. |
Y |
vector indicating the classes which the training observations belong to. |
method |
one of the following methods: |
... |
further arguments depending on the method (see |
Details
Computes nonparametric p-values for the potential class memberships of new observations. Precisely, for each new observation NewX[i,]
and each class b
the number PV[i,b]
is a p-value for the null hypothesis that Y[i] = b
.
This p-value is based on a permutation test applied to an estimated Bayesian likelihood ratio, using a plug-in statistic for the Gaussian model, 'k nearest neighbors', 'weighted nearest neighbors' or multicategory logistic regression with l1
-penalization (see pvs.gaussian, pvs.knn, pvs.wnn, pvs.logreg
) with estimated prior probabilities N(b)/n
. Here N(b)
is the number of observations of class b
and n
is the total number of observations.
Value
PV
is a matrix containing the p-values. Precisely, for each new observation NewX[i,]
and each class b
the number PV[i,b]
is a p-value for the null hypothesis that Y[i] = b
.
