knnEval: kNN evaluation by CV

Description

Evaluation for k-Nearest-Neighbors (kNN) classification by cross-validation

Usage

knnEval(X, grp, train, kfold = 10, knnvec = seq(2, 20, by = 2), plotit = TRUE, 
    legend = TRUE, legpos = "bottomright", ...)

Value

trainerr

training error rate

testerr

test error rate

cvMean

mean of CV errors

cvSe

standard error of CV errors

cverr

all errors from CV

knnvec

range for k for the evaluation of kNN, taken from input

Arguments

X

standardized complete X data matrix (training and test data)

grp

factor with groups for complete data (training and test data)

train

row indices of X indicating training data objects

kfold

number of folds for cross-validation

knnvec

range for k for the evaluation of kNN

plotit

if TRUE a plot will be generated

legend

if TRUE a legend will be added to the plot

legpos

positioning of the legend in the plot

...

additional plot arguments

Details

The data are split into a calibration and a test data set (provided by "train"). Within the calibration set "kfold"-fold CV is performed by applying the classification method to "kfold"-1 parts and evaluation for the last part. The misclassification error is then computed for the training data, for the CV test data (CV error) and for the test data.
