## Evaluate Prediction

### Description

Evaluate performance results of prediction on a testset based on given labels for binary classification

### Usage

    evaluatePrediction(prediction, label, allLabels = NULL, decValues = NULL,
      print = TRUE, confmatrix = TRUE, numPrecision = 3,
      numPosNegTrainSamples = numeric(0))

### Arguments

`prediction` | prediction results as returned by `predict` for predictionType="response".
`label` | label vector of same length as parameter 'prediction'.
`allLabels` | vector containing all occuring labels once. This parameter is required only if the label vector is numeric. Default=NULL
`decValues` | numeric vector containing decision values for the predictions as returned by the `predict` method with `predictionType` set to `decision`. This parameter is needed for the determination of the AUC value which is currently only supported for binary classification. Default=NULL
`print` | This parameter indicates whether performance values should be printed or returned as data frame without printing (for details see below). Default=TRUE
`confmatrix` | When set to TRUE a confusion matrix is printed. The rows correspond to predictions, the columns to the true labels. Default=TRUE
`numPrecision` | minimum number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Values between 0 and 20 are allowed. Default=3
`numPosNegTrainSamples` | optional integer vector with two values giving the number of positive and negative training samples. When this parameter is set the balancedness of the training set is reported. Default=numeric(0)

### Details

For binary classfication this function computes the performance measures accuracy, balanced accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision and the Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC). If decision values are passed in the parameter `decValues` the function additionally determines the AUC. When the number of positive and negative training samples is passed to the function it also shows the balancedness of the training set. The performance results are either printed by the routine directly or returned in a data frame. The columns of the data frame are:

column name | performance measure
-------------------- | --------------
TP | true positive
FP | false positive
FN | false negative
TN | true negative
ACC | accuracy
BAL_ACC | balanced accuracy
SENS | sensitivity
SPEC | specificity
PREC | precision
MAT_CC | Matthews correlation coefficient
AUC | area under ROC curve
PBAL | prediction balancedness (fraction of positive samples)
TBAL | training balancedness (fraction of positive samples)

### Value

When the parameter 'print' is set to FALSE the function returns a data frame containing the prediction performance values (for details see above).

### Examples

    ## set seed for random generator, included here only to make results
    ## reproducable for this example
    set.seed(456)
    ## load transcription factor binding site data
    data(TFBS)
    enhancerFB
    ## select 70% of the samples for training and the rest for test
    train <- sample(1:length(enhancerFB), length(enhancerFB) * 0.7)
    test <- c(1:length(enhancerFB))[-train]
    ## create the kernel object for gappy pair kernel with normalization
    gappy <- gappyPairKernel(k=1, m=3)
    ## show details of kernel object
    gappy

    ## run training with explicit representation
    model <- kbsvm(x=enhancerFB[train], y=yFB[train], kernel=gappy,
                   pkg="LiblineaR", svm="C-svc", cost=80, explicit="yes",
                   featureWeights="no")

    ## predict the test sequences
    pred <- predict(model, enhancerFB[test])

    ## print prediction performance
    evaluatePrediction(pred, yFB[test], allLabels=unique(yFB))

    ## Not run:
    ## print prediction performance including AUC
    ## additionally determine decision values
    preddec <- predict(model, enhancerFB[test], predictionType="decision")
    evaluatePrediction(pred, yFB[test], allLabels=unique(yFB),
                       decValues=preddec)

    ## print prediction performance including training set balance
    trainPosNeg <- c(length(which(yFB[train] == 1)),
                     length(which(yFB[train] == -1)))
    evaluatePrediction(pred, yFB[test], allLabels=unique(yFB),
                       numPosNegTrainSamples=trainPosNeg)

    ## or get prediction performance as data frame
    perf <- evaluatePrediction(pred, yFB[test], allLabels=unique(yFB),
                               print=FALSE)

    ## show performance values in data frame
