sits_validate {sits}

Validate time series samples

Description

One round of cross-validation involves partitioning a sample of data into complementary subsets, performing the analysis on one subset (called the training set), and validating the analysis on the other subset (called the validation set or testing set).

The function takes two arguments: a set of time series with a machine learning model and another set with validation samples. If the validation sample set is not provided, The sample dataset is split into two parts, as defined by the parameter validation_split. The accuracy is determined by the result of the validation test set.

This function returns the confusion matrix, and Kappa values.

Usage

sits_validate(
  samples,
  samples_validation = NULL,
  validation_split = 0.2,
  ml_method = sits_rfor()
)

Arguments

samples

Time series to be validated (class "sits").

samples_validation

Optional: Time series used for validation (class "sits")

validation_split

Percent of original time series set to be used for validation if samples_validation is NULL (numeric value).

ml_method

Machine learning method (function)

Value

A caret::confusionMatrix object to be used for validation assessment.
