ggplot.rfe: Plot RFE Performance Profiles

Description

These functions plot the resampling results for the candidate subset sizes evaluated during the recursive feature elimination (RFE) process

Usage

# S3 method for rfe
ggplot(
  data = NULL,
  mapping = NULL,
  metric = data$metric[1],
  output = "layered",
  ...,
  environment = NULL
)
# S3 method for rfe
plot(x, metric = x$metric, ...)

Arguments

data

an object of class rfe.

mapping, environment

unused arguments to make consistent with ggplot2 generic method

metric

What measure of performance to plot. Examples of possible values are "RMSE", "Rsquared", "Accuracy" or "Kappa". Other values can be used depending on what metrics have been calculated.

output

either "data", "ggplot" or "layered". The first returns a data frame while the second returns a simple ggplot object with no layers. The third value returns a plot with a set of layers.

…

plot only: specifications to be passed to xyplot. The function automatically sets some arguments (e.g. axis labels) but passing in values here will over-ride the defaults.

x

an object of class rfe.

Value

a lattice or ggplot object

Details

These plots show the average performance versus the subset sizes.
