create_testset: Create a list of test datasets

Description

The create_testset function creates test datasets either for benchmarking or curve evaluation.

Usage

create_testset(test_type, set_names = NULL)

Value

A list of R6 test dataset objects.

Arguments

test_type

A single string to specify the type of dataset generated by this function.

"bench"

Create test datasets for benchmarking

"curve"

Create test datasets for curve evaluation

set_names

A character vector to specify the names of test datasets.

1. For benchmarking (test_type = "bench")

   This function uses a naming convention for randomly generated data for benchmarking. The format is a prefix ('i' or 'b') followed by the number of dataset. The prefix 'i' indicates a balanced dataset, whereas 'b' indicates an imbalanced dataset. The number can be used with a suffix 'k' or 'm', indicating respectively 1000 or 1 million.

   Below are some examples.

   "b100"

   A balanced data set with 50 positives and 50 negatives.

"b10k"

A balanced data set with 5000 positives and 5000 negatives.

"b1m"

A balanced data set with 500,000 positives and 500,000 negatives.

"i100"

An imbalanced data set with 25 positives and 75 negatives.

The function returns a list of TestDataB objects.

For curve evaluation (test_type = "curve")

The following three predefined datasets can be specified for curve evaluation.

set name	S3 object	data source
c1 or C1	TestDataC	C1DATA
c2 or C2	TestDataC	C2DATA
c3 or C3	TestDataC	C3DATA
c4 or C4	TestDataC	C4DATA

The function returns a list of TestDataC objects.
