a vector, normally a factor, of predicted classes or an object of following classes |
ref |
a vector, normally a factor, of classes to be used as the reference. This is ignored if |

a character string that defines the factor level corresponding to the "positive" results. Will be ignored for a |

controls the number of digits to print. |
na.rm |
a logical value indicating whether or not missing values should be removed. Defaults to |

further arguments to be passed to or from methods. |
The functions require the factors to have the same levels.
For two class problems, the sensitivity, specificity, positive
predictive value and negative predictive value is calculated using the
positive
argument. Also, the prevalence of the "event" is computed from the
data (unless passed in as an argument), the detection rate (the rate of true events also
predicted to be events) and the detection prevalence (the prevalence of predicted events).
Suppose a 2 \times 2
table with notation
Reference | ||
Predicted | Event | No Event |
Event | A | B |
No Event | C | D |
The formulas used here are:
Sensitivity = A/(A+C)
Specificity = D/(B+D)
Prevalence = (A+C)/(A+B+C+D)
PPV = (sensitivity * Prevalence)/((sensitivity*Prevalence) + ((1-specificity)*(1-Prevalence)))
NPV = (specificity * (1-Prevalence))/(((1-sensitivity)*Prevalence) + ((specificity)*(1-Prevalence)))
Detection Rate = A/(A+B+C+D)
Detection Prevalence = (A+B)/(A+B+C+D)
F-val Accuracy = 2 / (1/PPV + 1/Sensitivity)
Matthews Cor.-Coef = (A*D-B*C)/sqrt((A+B)*(A+C)*(D+B)*(D+C))
See the references for discusions of the first five formulas.
For more than two classes, these results are calculated comparing each factor level to the remaining levels (i.e. a "one versus all" approach).
The overall accuracy and unweighted Kappa statistic are calculated. A p-value from McNemar's test is also computed using mcnemar.test
(which can produce NA
values with sparse tables).
The overall accuracy rate is computed along with a 95 percent confidence interval for this rate (using BinomCI
) and a one-sided test to see if the accuracy is better than the "no information rate," which is taken to be the largest class percentage in the data.
The sensitivity is defined as the proportion of positive results out of the number of
samples which were actually positive. When there are no positive results, sensitivity is
not defined and a value of NA
is returned. Similarly, when there are no negative
results, specificity is not defined and a value of NA
is returned. Similar
statements are true for predictive values.
Confidence intervals for sensitivity, specificity etc. could be calculated as binomial confidence intervals (see BinomCI
). BinomCI(A, A+C)
yields the ci for sensitivity.
