mbrier: Multiclass Brier Score

Description

Brier score for multi-class classification problems with \(r\) labels defined as $$ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^r (I_{ij} - p_{ij})^2. $$ \(I_{ij}\) is 1 if observation \(i\) has true label \(j\), and 0 otherwise.

Note that there also is the more common definition of the Brier score for binary classification problems in bbrier().

Usage

mbrier(truth, prob, ...)

Arguments

truth

:: factor() True (observed) labels. Must have the same levels and length as response.

prob

:: matrix() Matrix of predicted probabilities, each column is a vector of probabilities for a specific class label. Columns must be named with levels of truth.

...

:: any Additional arguments. Currently ignored.

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Meta Information

• Type: "classif"

• Range: \([0, 2]\)

• Minimize: TRUE

• Required prediction: prob

# NOT RUN {
set.seed(1)
lvls = c("a", "b", "c")
truth = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
prob = matrix(runif(3 * 10), ncol = 3)
colnames(prob) = levels(truth)
mbrier(truth, prob)
