In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

Cross-validation for the Dirichlet discriminant analysis

Description

Cross-validation for the Dirichlet discriminant analysis.

Usage

cv.dda(x, ina, nfolds = 10, folds = NULL, stratified = TRUE, seed = NULL)

Arguments

x	A matrix with the available data, the predictor variables.
ina	A vector of data. The response variable, which is categorical (factor is acceptable).
folds	A list with the indices of the folds.
nfolds	The number of folds to be used. This is taken into consideration only if "folds" is NULL.
stratified	Do you want the folds to be selected using stratified random sampling? This preserves the analogy of the samples of each group. Make this TRUE if you wish.
seed	If you set this to TRUE, the same folds will be created every time.

Details

This function estimates the performance of the Dirichlet discriminant analysis via k-fold cross-validation.

Value

A list including:

percent	The percentage of correct classification
runtime	The duration of the cross-validation proecdure.
