performance_cv function

Cross-validated model performance

This function cross-validates regression models in a user-supplied new sample or by using holdout (train-test), k-fold, or leave-one-out cross-validation.

performance_cv(
  model,
  data = NULL,
  method = c("holdout", "k_fold", "loo"),
  metrics = "all",
  prop = 0.3,
  k = 5,
  stack = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• model: A regression model.

• data: Optional. A data frame containing the same variables as model

  that will be used as the cross-validation sample.

• method: Character string, indicating the cross-validation method to use: whether holdout ("holdout", aka train-test), k-fold ("k_fold"), or leave-one-out ("loo"). If data is supplied, this argument is ignored.

• metrics: Can be "all", "common" or a character vector of metrics to be computed (some of c("ELPD", "Deviance", "MSE", "RMSE", "R2")). "common" will compute R2 and RMSE.

• prop: If method = "holdout", what proportion of the sample to hold out as the test sample?

• k: If method = "k_fold", the number of folds to use.

• stack: Logical. If method = "k_fold", should performance be computed by stacking residuals from each holdout fold and calculating each metric on the stacked data (TRUE, default) or should performance be computed by calculating metrics within each holdout fold and averaging performance across each fold (FALSE)?

• verbose: Toggle warnings.

• ...: Not used.

Returns

A data frame with columns for each metric requested, as well as k

if method = "holdout" and the Method used for cross-validation. If method = "holdout" and stack = TRUE, the standard error (standard deviation across holdout folds) for each metric is also included.

Examples

model <- lm(mpg ~ wt + cyl, data = mtcars)
