accuracyAtCutoff: Accuracy at a Given Cutoff.

In petersenlab: A Collection of R Functions by the Petersen Lab

Accuracy at a Given Cutoff.

Description

Find the accuracy at a given cutoff. Actuals should be binary, where 1 = present and 0 = absent.

Usage

accuracyAtCutoff(
  predicted,
  actual,
  cutoff,
  UH = NULL,
  UM = NULL,
  UCR = NULL,
  UFA = NULL
)

Arguments

predicted	vector of continuous predicted values.
actual	vector of binary actual values (1 = present and 0 = absent).
cutoff	numeric value at or above which the target condition is considered present.
UH	(optional) utility of hits (true positives), specified as a value from 0-1, where 1 is the most highly valued and 0 is the least valued.
UM	(optional) utility of misses (false negatives), specified as a value from 0-1, where 1 is the most highly valued and 0 is the least valued.
UCR	(optional) utility of correct rejections (true negatives), specified as a value from 0-1, where 1 is the most highly valued and 0 is the least valued.
UFA	(optional) utility of false positives (false positives), specified as a value from 0-1, where 1 is the most highly valued and 0 is the least valued.

Details

Compute accuracy indices of predicted values in relation to actual values at a given cutoff by specifying the predicted values, actual values, and cutoff value. The target condition is considered present at or above the cutoff value. Optionally, you can also specify the utility of hits, misses, correct rejections, and false alarms to calculate the overall utility of the cutoff. To compute accuracy at each possible cutoff, see accuracyAtEachCutoff.
