Hello,
I'm using ROCR to plot ROC Curves and I want to automate the saving of plots
into PNG files using a custom function.
My data frames are named like test1, test2, test3. Each data frame has three
variables: method1, method2, goldstandard.
Right now, for each plot I have to run:
png('test1_method1.png')
plot(performance(prediction(test1$method1, test1$goldstandard), "tpr",
"fpr"))
dev.off()
Here is the function I tried to create but I failed:
roc <- function(arg1, arg2){
png(paste(arg1, arg2, "png", sep="_"))
plot(performance(prediction(arg1$arg2, arg1$goldstandard), "tpr", "fpr"))
dev.off()
}
I wanted to pass the test name as arg1, and the method name as arg2. Here
are my problems:
1) arg1$arg2 causes an error message. How can I use a function argument to
address a variable in a dataframe?
2) paste(arg1, arg2, "png", sep=".") doesn't output something like
'test1.method1.png'. How should I deal with that?
Thanks in advance.
