Re: [R] ROC curves with ROCR

2012-07-16 Thread Jessica Streicher
Wild guess :
You need to have some kind of score for ROC to work (so you can work with a 
threshold), so a predict() that only returns classlabels probably won't work.

 Hi, 
 
 I don't really understand how ROCR works.  Here's another example with a
 randomforest model: I have the training dataset(bank_training) and testing
 dataset(bank_testing) and I ran a randomForest as below:
 
bankrf-randomForest(y~., bank_training, mtry=4, ntree=2,  
keep.forest=TRUE,importance=TRUE) 
bankrf.pred-predict(bankrf, bank_testing)
library(ROCR)
pred-prediction(bankrf.pred$y, bank_testing$y)
 
 Here I get the error that the prediction format is incorrect? Where is the
 mistake?
 
 Thanks in advance
