Classification parameter optimisation for the random forest algorithm.
Usage
rfOptimisation(
  object,
  fcol = "markers",
  mtry = NULL,
  times = 100,
  test.size = 0.2,
  xval = 5,
  fun = mean,
  seed,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)Arguments
- object
- An instance of class - "MSnSet".
- fcol
- The feature meta-data containing marker definitions. Default is - markers.
- mtry
- The hyper-parameter. Default value is - NULL.
- times
- The number of times internal cross-validation is performed. Default is 100. 
- test.size
- The size of test data. Default is 0.2 (20 percent). 
- xval
- The - n-cross validation. Default is 5.
- fun
- The function used to summarise the - xvalmacro F1 matrices.
- seed
- The optional random number generator seed. 
- verbose
- A - logicaldefining whether a progress bar is displayed.
- ...
- Additional parameters passed to - randomForestfrom package- randomForest.
Value
An instance of class "GenRegRes".
Details
Note that when performance scores precision, recall and (macro) F1 are calculated, any NA values are replaced by 0. This decision is motivated by the fact that any class that would have either a NA precision or recall would result in an NA F1 score and, eventually, a NA macro F1 (i.e. mean(F1)). Replacing NAs by 0s leads to F1 values of 0 and a reduced yet defined final macro F1 score.
