specificityClass.BigBang: Computes the specificity of class prediction

Description

Computes the specificity of class prediction.

Usage

# S3 method for BigBang
specificityClass(o, cm, ...)

Arguments

cm

The confusion matrix or the class prediction matrix. If missing, confusionMatrix method is called using the object and ... as other arguments

..

Further parameters when cm is missing.

Value

A vector with the specificity of prediction for every class.

Details

Specificity is the probability that a sample of class different to X will NOT be predicted as class X. High specificity avoids false positives. Specificity = TN / (TN + FP) TN - True Negatives: For class A, TN = Pbb + Pbc + Pbx + Pcb + Pcc + Pcx FP - False Positives: For class A, FP = Pba + Pca Confusion Matrix: [ Predicted Class ] ClassA ClassB ClassC "misclass" ClassA Paa Pab Pac Pax ClassB Pba Pbb Pbc Pbx ClassC Pca Pcb Pcc Pcx

Examples

# NOT RUN {
   #bb is a BigBang object
   cpm <- classPredictionMatrix(bb)
   cpm
   cm <- confusionMatrix(bb)
   cm
   #equivalent and quicker because classPredictionMatrix is provided
   cm <- confusionMatrix(bb, cpm)
   cm
 
   specificityClass(bb, cm)
   specificityClass(bb, cpm)
   specificityClass(bb)
   # all are equivalent
   sensitivityClass(bb, cpm)
   sensitivityClass(bb, cm)
   sensitivityClass(bb)
   # all are equivalent
   
# }
# NOT RUN {
