#' Robust F-Beta Score
#'
#' Compute a robust version of the F-Beta Score. 
#'
#' @param actual	A vector of actual values (1/0 or TRUE/FALSE)
#' @param predicted A vector of prediction values (1/0 or TRUE/FALSE)
#' @param TP Count of true positives (correctly predicted 1/TRUE)
#' @param FN Count of false negatives (predicted 0/FALSE, but actually 1/TRUE)
#' @param FP Count of false positives (predicted 1/TRUE, but actually 0/FALSE)
#' @param TN Count of true negatives (correctly predicted 0/FALSE)
#' @param beta Beta squared is the weight of recall in the harmonic mean
#' @param d0 Weight of the estimated true positive probability in the harmonic mean
#'
#' @details
#' Calculate the robust F-Beta Score \eqn{F_{\beta,d_0}} with two parameters.
#' Provide either:
#' * `actual` and `predicted` or
#' * `TP`, `FN`, `FP` and `TN`. 
#'
#' If \eqn{d_0=0}, the robust F-Beta Score coincides with the F-Beta Score.
#' @md
#'
#' @return robust F-Beta Score.
