hmda.plot.metrics: Plot model performance metrics across a grid of models

In HMDA: Holistic Multimodel Domain Analysis for Exploratory Machine Learning

Plot model performance metrics across a grid of models

Description

Creates a line plot comparing multiple (maximize-type) performance metrics across a set of models. The input data frame is typically the output of hmda.grid.analysis and must contain a model_ids column and one or more numeric metric columns (e.g., aucpr, mcc, f2).

The function can either plot the first n_models rows (criteria = "n_models") or include all models that achieve at least tolerance times the best value for at least one metric (criteria = "rashomon").

Usage

hmda.plot.metrics(
  df,
  metrics = c("auc", "aucpr", "r2", "mcc", "f2"),
  criteria = "rashomon",
  n_models = 100,
  tolerance = 0.05,
  plot = TRUE,
  title = NULL
)

Arguments

df	A data frame of class "hmda.grid.analysis" containing a column model_ids and numeric metric columns.
metrics	Character vector of column names in df to be plotted.
criteria	Character. One of "n_models" or "rashomon" (default).
n_models	Integer. Number of top rows to plot when criteria = "n_models".
tolerance	Numeric in (0, 1). Alternative to n_models. Selects all models within a given percentage distance of the best value for each metric (direction-aware). You must specify either n_models or tolerance, not both. tolerance is direction-aware. For example, when metric is AUC, if the tolerance is set to 1%, it selects models that have AUC equal or lower than 99% of the model with the highest AUC.
plot	Logical. If TRUE, prints the plot.
title	Character. Add title to the plot.
