bn.kcv.class: The bn.kcv class structure

In vspinu/bnlearn: Bayesian network structure learning, parameter learning and inference

Description

The structure of an object of S3 class bn.kcv.

Details

An object of class bn.kcv is a list whose elements correspond to the iterations of a k-fold cross-validation. Each element contains the following objects:

• test: an integer vector, the indexes of the observations used as a test set.

• fitted: an object of class bn.fit, the Bayesian network fitted from the training set.

• loss: the value of the loss function.

If the loss function rquires to predict values from the test sets, each element also contains:

• predicted: a factor or a numeric vector, the predicted values for the target node in the test set.

• observed: a factor or a numeric vector, the observed values for the target node in the test set.

In addition, an object of class bn.kcv has the following attributes:

• loss: a character string, the label of the loss function.

• mean: the mean of the values of the loss function computed in the k iterations of the cross-validation.

• bn: either a character string (the label of the learning algorithm to be applied to the training data in each iteration) or an object of class bn (a fixed network structure).
