##### Usage
## S3 method for class 'train':
confusionMatrix(data, norm = "overall",
dnn = c("Prediction", "Reference"), ...)## S3 method for class 'rfe':
confusionMatrix(data, norm = "overall",
dnn = c("Prediction", "Reference"), ...)## S3 method for class 'sbf':
confusionMatrix(data, norm = "overall",
dnn = c("Prediction", "Reference"), ...)
##### Details

When train is used for tuning a model, it tracks the confusion matrix cell entries for the hold-out samples. These can be aggregated and used for diagnostic purposes. For train, the matrix is estimated for the final model tuning parameters determined by train. For rfe, the matrix is associated with the optimal number of variables.

There are several ways to show the table entries. Using norm = "none" will show the frequencies of samples on each of the cells (across all resamples). norm = "overall" first divides the cell entries by the total number of data points in the table, then averages these percentages. norm = "average" takes the raw, aggregate cell counts across resamples and divides by the number of resamples (i.e. to yield an average count for each cell).

##### Value

• a list of class confusionMatrix.train, confusionMatrix.rfe or confusionMatrix.sbf with elements
• tablethe normalized matrix
• nroman echo fo the call
• texta character string with details about the resampling procedure (e.g. "Bootstrapped (25 reps) Confusion Matrix"
