Predictive quality metrics for a node of a context tree

Source: R/ctx_node_vlmc.R
metrics.ctx_node.Rd

This function computes and returns predictive quality metrics for a node (ctx_node) extracted from a context tree.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'ctx_node'
metrics(model, ...)

Arguments

model

T ctx_node object as returned by find_sequence().

...

Additional parameters for predictive metrics computation.

Value

The returned value is guaranteed to have at least three components

  • accuracy: the accuracy of the predictions

  • conf_mat: the confusion matrix of the predictions, with predicted values in rows and true values in columns

  • auc: the AUC of the predictive model

Details

Compared to metrics.vlmc(), this function focuses on a single context and assesses the quality of its predictions, disregarding observations that have other contexts. Apart from this limited scope, the function operates as metrics.vlmc().
