nnetEval: Neural network evaluation by CV

Description

Evaluation for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classification by cross-validation

Usage

nnetEval(X, grp, train, kfold = 10, decay = seq(0, 10, by = 1), size = 30, 
maxit = 100, plotit = TRUE, legend = TRUE, legpos = "bottomright", ...)

Arguments

X

standardized complete X data matrix (training and test data)

grp

factor with groups for complete data (training and test data)

train

row indices of X indicating training data objects

kfold

number of folds for cross-validation

decay

weight decay, see nnet, can be a vector with several values - but then "size" can be only one value

size

number of hidden units, see nnet, can be a vector with several values - but then "decay" can be only one value

maxit

maximal number of iterations for ANN, see nnet

plotit

if TRUE a plot will be generated

legend

if TRUE a legend will be added to the plot

legpos

positioning of the legend in the plot

...

additional plot arguments

Value

Details

The data are split into a calibration and a test data set (provided by "train"). Within the calibration set "kfold"-fold CV is performed by applying the classification method to "kfold"-1 parts and evaluation for the last part. The misclassification error is then computed for the training data, for the CV test data (CV error) and for the test data.
