getPerm5Num: Get descriptive statistics from a permutation object

In classyfire: Robust multivariate classification using highly optimised SVM ensembles

Description

The getPerm5Num function returns the "five number summary", a descriptive statistic that consists of the minimum, first (lower) quartile, median, third (upper) quartile and maximum value of a given distribution. In this case, the function is applied directly on the output of permutation testing, generated by the cfPermute function.

Usage

getPerm5Num(permObj)

Arguments

permObj

The permutation object as generated by cfPermute

Value

The getPerm5Num function returns an R object in the form of a list that contains the five number summary. The names of the returned statistics can be viewed by using the function attributes.

Examples

## Not run: 
data(iris)

irisClass <- iris[,5]
irisData  <- iris[,-5]

permObj <- cfPermute(irisData, irisClass, bootNum = 10, ensNum = 20, permNum = 5, 
                     parallel = TRUE, cpus = 4, type = "SOCK")

getPerm5Num(permObj)
getPerm5Num(permObj)$median      
getPerm5Num(permObj)$minimum
getPerm5Num(permObj)$maximum
getPerm5Num(permObj)$upperQ
getPerm5Num(permObj)$lowerQ

## End(Not run)
