vecv function

Variance explained by predictive models based on cross-validation

vecv is used to calculate the variance explained by predictive models based on cross-validation. The vecv is based on the differences between the predicted values for, and the observed values of, validation samples for cross-validation. It measures the proportion of variation in the validation data explained by the predicted values obtained from predictive models based on cross-validation.

vecv(obs, pred)

Arguments

• obs: observation values of validation samples.
• pred: prediction values of predictive models for validation samples.

Returns

a numeric number.

Examples

set.seed(1234)
x <- sample(1:30, 30)
e <- rnorm(30, 1)
y <- x + e
vecv(x, y)

y <- 0.8 * x + e
vecv(x, y)
