aer: Apparent Error Rate

Description

A function to calculate the apparent error rate of two classification vectors, i.e., the proportion of observed cases incorrectly predicted. It can be useful for evaluating discriminant analysis or other classification systems. $$aer = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} I(y_i \neq \hat{y}_i)$$

Usage

aer(obs, predict)

Value

The apparent error rate, a number between 0 (no agreement) and 1 (thorough agreement).

Arguments

obs

a vector containing the observed classes.

predict

a vector with the same length of obs containing the predicted classes.
