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
xval
macro F1 matrices.- seed
The optional random number generator seed.
- verbose
A
logical
defining whether a progress bar is displayed.- ...
Additional parameters passed to
randomForest
from packagerandomForest
.
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.
