specificity: Estimating specificity

In loublanpain/BMI585FinalProjectLouBlanpain: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description

Computes the specificity of a classifier, by using recorded data vs data predicted by a classifier.

Usage

specificity(pred, truth)

Arguments

pred	A logical (T=positive, F=negative) or numeric (1=positive, 0=negative) vector of positives and negatives provided by the classifier.
truth	A logical (T=positive, F=negative) or numeric (1=positive, 0=negative) vector of positives and negatives measured.

Details

Equation used is # True Negatives / # All Negatives.

Value

A value from 0 (low specificity) to 1 (high specificity).

Examples

pred_values=sample(c(0,1),replace=T,size=100)
true_values=sample(c(0,1),replace=T,size=100)
specificity(pred_values,true_values)
