add_stats: Add decision statistics to data (containing counts of a 2x2 contingency table)

Description

add_stats assumes the input of essential 2x2 frequency counts (as a data frame data with variable names "hi", "fa", "mi", and "cr") and uses them to compute various decision accuracy measures.

Usage

add_stats(
  data,
  sens.w = 0.5,
  cost.each = NULL,
  cost.outcomes = list(hi = 0, fa = 1, mi = 1, cr = 0)
)

Value

A data frame with variables of computed accuracy and cost measures (but dropping inputs).

Arguments

data

A data frame with (integer) values named "hi", "fa", "mi", and "cr".

sens.w

numeric. Sensitivity weight (for computing weighted accuracy, wacc). Default: sens.w = .50.

cost.each

numeric. An optional fixed cost added to all outputs (e.g.; the cost of the cue).

cost.outcomes

list. A list of length 4 named "hi", "fa", "mi", "cr", and specifying the costs of a hit, false alarm, miss, and correct rejection, respectively. E.g.; cost.outcomes = listc("hi" = 0, "fa" = 10, "mi" = 20, "cr" = 0) means that a false alarm and miss cost 10 and 20 units, respectively, while correct decisions incur no costs.

Details

Providing numeric values for cost.each (as a vector) and cost.outcomes (as a named list) allows computing cost information for the counts of corresponding classification decisions.
