Verification statistics for a 2 by 2 Contingency Table
Provides a variety of statistics for a data summarized in a 2 by 2 contingency table.
table.stats(obs, pred, fudge = 0.01, silent = FALSE)
obs |
Either a vector of contingency table counts, a vector of binary observations, or a 2 by 2 matrix in the form of a contingency table. (See note below.) |
pred |
Either null or a vector of binary forecasts. |
fudge |
A numeric fudge factor to be added to each cell of the contingency table in order to avoid division by zero. |
silent |
Should warning statements be surpressed. |

Initially, table.stats was an internal function used by verify for binary events and multi.cont for categorical events. But occassionally, it is nice to use it directly.
