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

Usage

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

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.

Value

Performance value as numeric(1).

Details

The False Negative Rate is defined as $$ \frac{\mathrm{FN}}{\mathrm{TP} + \mathrm{FN}}. $$ Also know as "miss rate".

This measure is undefined if TP + FN = 0.

Meta Information

  • Type: "binary"

  • Range: \([0, 1]\)

  • Minimize: TRUE

  • Required prediction: response

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)
fnr(truth, response, positive = "a")
