pm: Calculate Probability Matrix

In gaoming96/mcca: Multi-Category Classification Accuracy

Description

compute the probability matrix of two or three or four categories classifiers with an option to define the specific model or user-defined model.

Usage

pm(y, d, method="multinom", k=3, ...)

Arguments

y	The multinomial response vector with two, three or four categories. It can be factor or integer-valued.
d	The set of candidate markers, including one or more columns. Can be a data frame or a matrix.
method	Specifies what method is used to construct the classifier based on the marker set in d. Available option includes the following methods:"multinom": Multinomial Logistic Regression which is the default method, requiring R package nnet;"tree": Classification Tree method, requiring R package rpart;"svm": Support Vector Machine (C-classification and radial basis as default), requiring R package e1071;"lda": Linear Discriminant Analysis, requiring R package lda.
k	Number of the categories, can be 2 or 3 or 4.
...	Additional arguments in the chosen method's function.

Details

The function returns the probability matrix for predictive markers based on a user-chosen machine learning method. Currently available methods include logistic regression (default), tree, lda, svm and user-computed risk values.

Value

The probability matrix of the classification using a particular learning method on a set of marker(s).
