tn: True Negatives

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted labels in binary classification tasks.

Usage

tn(truth, response, positive, ...)

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Arguments

truth

(factor())
True (observed) labels. Must have the exactly same two levels and the same length as response.

response

(factor())
Predicted response labels. Must have the exactly same two levels and the same length as truth.

positive

(character(1))
Name of the positive class.

...

(any)
Additional arguments. Currently ignored.

Meta Information

• Type: "binary"

• Range: \([0, \infty)\)

• Minimize: FALSE

• Required prediction: response

Examples

set.seed(1)
lvls = c("a", "b")
truth = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
response = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
tn(truth, response, positive = "a")
