fpr: False Positive Rate

In mlr3measures: Performance Measures for 'mlr3'

False Positive Rate

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted labels in binary classification tasks.

Usage

fpr(truth, response, positive, na_value = NaN, ...)

Arguments

truth	(factor()) True (observed) labels. Must have the exactly same two levels and the same length as response.
response	(factor()) Predicted response labels. Must have the exactly same two levels and the same length as truth.
positive	(character(1)) Name of the positive class.
na_value	(numeric(1)) Value that should be returned if the measure is not defined for the input (as described in the note). Default is NaN.
...	(any) Additional arguments. Currently ignored.

Details

The False Positive Rate is defined as

FP / (FP + TN).

Also know as fall out or probability of false alarm.

This measure is undefined if FP + TN = 0.

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Meta Information

• Type: "binary"

Examples

set.seed(1)
lvls = c("a", "b")
truth = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
response = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
fpr(truth, response, positive = "a")
