binary_class_cm: Binary Confusion Matrix data frame

In ConfusionTableR: Confusion Matrix Toolset

Description

a confusion matrix object for binary classification machine learning problems.

Usage

binary_class_cm(train_labels, truth_labels, ...)

Arguments

train_labels	the classification labels from the training set
truth_labels	the testing set ground truth labels for comparison
...	function forwarding for additional 'caret' confusion matrix parameters to be passed such as mode="everything" and positive="class label"

Value

A list containing the outputs highlighted hereunder:

• "confusion_matrix" a confusion matrix list item with all the associated confusion matrix statistics

• "record_level_cm" a row by row data.frame version of the above output, to allow for storage in databases and row by row for tracking ML model performance

• "cm_tbl" a confusion matrix raw table of the values in the matrix

• "last_run"datetime object storing when the function was run

Examples

library(dplyr)
library(ConfusionTableR)
library(caret)
library(tidyr)
library(mlbench)

# Load in the data
data("BreastCancer", package = "mlbench")
breast <- BreastCancer[complete.cases(BreastCancer), ] #Create a copy
breast <- breast[, -1]
breast <- breast[1:100,]
breast$Class <- factor(breast$Class) # Create as factor
for(i in 1:9) {
 breast[, i] <- as.numeric(as.character(breast[, i]))
}

#Perform train / test split on the data
train_split_idx <- caret::createDataPartition(breast$Class, p = 0.75, list = FALSE)
train <- breast[train_split_idx, ]
test <- breast[-train_split_idx, ]
rf_fit <- caret::train(Class ~ ., data=train, method="rf")
#Make predictions to expose class labels
preds <- predict(rf_fit, newdata=test, type="raw")
predicted <- cbind(data.frame(class_preds=preds), test)

#ConfusionTableR to produce record level output
cm <- ConfusionTableR::binary_class_cm(predicted$class_preds,predicted$Class)
# Other modes here are mode="prec_recall", mode="sens_spec" and mode="everything"
# Record level output
cm$record_level_cm #Primed for storage in a database table
# List confusion matrix
cm$confusion_matrix
