npv: Negative Predictive Value

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted labels in binary classification tasks.

Usage

npv(truth, response, positive, na_value = NaN, ...)

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Arguments

truth

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

response

(factor())
Predicted response labels. Must have the exactly same two levels and the same length as truth.

positive

(character(1))
Name of the positive class.

na_value

(numeric(1))
Value that should be returned if the measure is not defined for the input (as described in the note). Default is NaN.

...

(any)
Additional arguments. Currently ignored.

Meta Information

• Type: "binary"

• Range: \([0, 1]\)

• Minimize: FALSE

• Required prediction: response

Details

The Negative Predictive Value is defined as $$ \frac{\mathrm{TN}}{\mathrm{FN} + \mathrm{TN}}. $$

This measure is undefined if FN + TN = 0.

Examples

set.seed(1)
lvls = c("a", "b")
truth = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
response = factor(sample(lvls, 10, replace = TRUE), levels = lvls)
npv(truth, response, positive = "a")
