pcut_threshold {utiml}

Proportional Thresholding (PCut)

Description

Define the proportion of examples for each label will be positive. The Proportion Cut (PCut) method can be a label-wise or global method that calibrates the threshold(s) from the training data globally or per label.

Usage

pcut_threshold(prediction, ratio, probability = FALSE)

## Default S3 method:
pcut_threshold(prediction, ratio, probability = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'mlresult'
pcut_threshold(prediction, ratio, probability = FALSE)

Arguments

prediction

A matrix or mlresult.

ratio

A single value between 0 and 1 or a list with ratio values contained one value per label.

probability

A logical value. If TRUE the predicted values are the score between 0 and 1, otherwise the values are bipartition 0 or 1. (Default: FALSE)

Value

A mlresult object.

Methods (by class)

• default: Proportional Thresholding (PCut) method for matrix

• mlresult: Proportional Thresholding (PCut) for mlresult
