summarize_dataset: Summarize classifiers performance in a dataset

Description

Calculate a series of metrics describing global and local performance for selected classifiers in a dataset.

Usage

summarize_dataset(
  data,
  predictors = NULL,
  response,
  ratio,
  threshold,
  .condition = NULL,
  .progress = FALSE
)

Value

A list with different elements:

• Performance metrics for each of evaluated classifiers.

• Overall description of performance metrics in the dataset.

Arguments

data

A data.frame or extension (e.g. a tibble) containing values for predictors and response variables.

predictors

A vector of numeric data variables which represents the different classifiers or predictors in data to be summarized.

If NULLand by default, predictors will match all numeric variables in data with the exception of response, given that it has a numeric type.

response

A data variable which must be a factor, integer or character vector representing the prediction outcome on each observation (Gold Standard).

If the variable presents more than two possible outcomes, classes or categories:

• The outcome of interest (the one to be predicted) will remain distinct.

• All other categories will be combined into a single category.

New combined category represents the "absence" of the condition to predict. See .condition for more information.

ratio

Ratio or axis where to apply calculations.

• If "tpr", only points within the specified region of TPR, y axis, will be considered for calculations.

• If "fpr", only points within the specified region of FPR, x axis, will be considered for calculations.

threshold

A number between 0 and 1, both inclusive, which represents the region bound where to calculate partial area under curve.

If ratio = "tpr", it represents lower bound of the TPR region, being its upper limit equal to 1.

If ratio = "fpr", it represents the upper bound of the FPR region, being its lower limit equal to 0.

.condition

A value from response that represents class, category or condition of interest which wants to be predicted.

If NULL, condition of interest will be selected automatically depending on response type.

Once the class of interest is selected, rest of them will be collapsed in a common category, representing the "absence" of the condition to be predicted.

See vignette("selecting-condition") for further information on how automatic selection is performed and details on selecting the condition of interest.

.progress

If TRUE, show progress of calculations.

Examples

summarize_dataset(iris, response = Species, ratio = "tpr", threshold = 0.9)
