specificity: Calculate the specificity for a given logit model

Description

Calculate the specificity for a given logit model

Usage

specificity(actuals, predictedScores, threshold = 0.5)

Value

The specificity of the given binary response actuals and predicted probability scores, which is, the number of observations without the event AND predicted to not have the event divided by the nummber of observations without the event.

Arguments

actuals

The actual binary flags for the response variable. It can take a numeric vector containing values of either 1 or 0, where 1 represents the 'Good' or 'Events' while 0 represents 'Bad' or 'Non-Events'.

predictedScores

The prediction probability scores for each observation. If your classification model gives the 1/0 predcitions, convert it to a numeric vector of 1's and 0's.

threshold

If predicted value is above the threshold, it will be considered as an event (1), else it will be a non-event (0). Defaults to 0.5.
