In Laurae2/Laurae: Advanced High Performance Data Science Toolbox for R

#' Minimum Miss-Rate (False Negative Rate)
#' 
#' This function allows to use a custom thresholding method to minimize the minimum Miss-Rate (False Negative Rate). A pair of values is returned.
#' 
#' @param preds Type: numeric. The predictions.
#' @param labels Type: numeric. The labels (0, 1).
#' 
#' @return A two element vector containing the minimum Miss-Rate (False Negative Rate) for binary data, and the threshold used.
