mcca (version 0.7.0)

mcca-package: Diagnostic accuracy methods for classifiers

Description

Six common multi-category classification accuracy evaluation measures are included i.e., Correct Classification Percentage (CCP), Hypervolume Under Manifold (HUM), Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI), Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI), Polytomous Discrimination Index (PDI) and R-squared (RSQ). It allows users to fit many popular classification procedures, such as multinomial logistic regression, support vector machine, classification tree, and user computed risk values.

Functions

ccp	Calculate CCP Value
hum	Calculate HUM Value
plot.mcca.hum	Plot 3D ROC curve
idi	Calculate IDI Value
nri	Calculate NRI Value
pdi	Calculate PDI Value
rsq	Calculate RSQ Value
pm	Calculate Probability Matrix
ests	Estimated Information for Single Model Evaluation Value
estp	Estimated Information for Paired Model Evaluation Value
