Classification Metrics

Description

Weighted versions of non-probabilistic and probabilistic classification metrics:

• accuracy(): Accuracy (higher is better).

• classification_error(): Classification error = 1 - Accuracy (lower is better).

• precision(): Precision (higher is better).

• recall(): Recall (higher is better).

• f1_score(): F1 Score. Harmonic mean of precision and recall (higher is better).

• AUC(): Area under the ROC (higher is better).

• gini_coefficient(): Gini coefficient, equivalent to 2 \cdot \textrm{AUC} - 1. Up to ties in predicted, equivalent to Somer's D (higher is better).

• deviance_bernoulli(): Average Bernoulli deviance. Equals twice the log loss/binary cross entropy (smaller is better).

• logLoss(): Log loss/binary cross entropy. Equals half the average Bernoulli deviance (smaller is better).

Usage

accuracy(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

classification_error(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

precision(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

recall(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

f1_score(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

AUC(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

gini_coefficient(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

deviance_bernoulli(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

logLoss(actual, predicted, w = NULL, ...)

Arguments

actual	Observed values.
predicted	Predicted values.
w	Optional case weights.
...	Further arguments passed to weighted_mean() (no effect for AUC() and gini_coefficient()).

Details

Note that the function AUC() was originally modified from the 'glmnet' package to ensure deterministic results. The unweighted version can be different from the weighted one with unit weights due to ties in predicted.

Value

A numeric vector of length one.

Input ranges

• For precision(), recall(), and f1_score(): The actual and predicted values need to be in \{0, 1\}.

• For accuracy() and classification_error(): Any discrete input.

• For AUC() and gini_coefficient(): Only actual must be in \{0, 1\}.

• For deviance_bernoulli() and logLoss(): The values of actual must be in \{0, 1\}, while predicted must be in the closed interval [0, 1].

Examples

y <- c(0, 0, 1, 1)
pred <- c(0, 0, 1, 0)
w <- y * 2

accuracy(y, pred)
classification_error(y, pred, w = w)
precision(y, pred, w = w)
recall(y, pred, w = w)
f1_score(y, pred, w = w)

y2 <- c(0, 1, 0, 1)
pred2 <- c(0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.8)
w2 <- 1:4

AUC(y2, pred2)
AUC(y2, pred2, w = rep(1, 4))  # Different due to ties in predicted

gini_coefficient(y2, pred2, w = w2)
logLoss(y2, pred2, w = w2)
deviance_bernoulli(y2, pred2, w = w2)
