Overview

R package for model evaluation and comparison.

  • Cross-validate one or multiple regression or classification models with relevant evaluation metrics in a tidy format.
  • Validate the best model on a test set and compare it to a baseline evaluation.
  • Perform hyperparameter tuning with grid search.
  • Evaluate predictions from an external model.
  • Extract the observations that were the most challenging to predict.

Currently supports regression ('gaussian'), binary classification ('binomial'), and (some functions only) multiclass classification ('multinomial'). Many of the functions allow parallelization, e.g. through the doParallel package.

NEW: Our new application for plotting confusion matrices with plot_confusion_matrix() without any code is now available on Huggingface Spaces.

Repeated cross-validation

Instead of only dividing our data into folds once, we can do it multiple times and average the results. As the models can be ranked differently with different splits, this is generally preferable.

Let’s first add some extra fold columns. We will use the num_fold_cols argument to add 3 unique fold columns. We tell fold() to keep the existing fold column and simply add three extra columns. We could also choose to remove the existing fold column, if, for instance, we were changing the number of folds (k). Note, that the original fold column will be renamed to ".folds_1".

# Set seed for reproducibility
set.seed(2)

# Ungroup data
# Ootherwise we would create folds within the existing folds
data <- dplyr::ungroup(data)

# Fold data 
data <- fold(
  data = data, 
  k = 4,
  cat_col = 'diagnosis',
  id_col = 'participant',
  num_fold_cols = 3,
  handle_existing_fold_cols = "keep"
)

# Show first 15 rows of data
data %>% head(10) %>% kable()
participant age diagnosis score session .folds_1 .folds_2 .folds_3 .folds_4
10 32 0 29 1 4 4 3 1
10 32 0 55 2 4 4 3 1
10 32 0 81 3 4 4 3 1

4 21 0 78 3 3 2 4 4
9 34 0 33 1 1 1 2 3

Now, let’s cross-validate the four fold columns. We use paste0() to create the four column names:

CV5 <- cross_validate(
  data = data,
  formulas = c("diagnosis ~ score",
               "diagnosis ~ score + age"),
  fold_cols = paste0(".folds_", 1:4),
  family = 'binomial'
)

Cross-validating custom model functions

cross_validate_fn() allows us to cross-validate a custom model function, like a support vector machine or a neural network. It works with regression (gaussian), binary classification (binomial), and multiclass classification (multinomial).

It is required to pass a model function and a predict function. Further, it is possible to pass a preprocessing function and a list of hyperparameter values to test with grid search. You can check the requirements for these functions at ?cross_validate_fn.

SVM

Let’s cross-validate a support-vector machine using the svm() function from the e1071 package. First, we will create a model function. You can do anything you want inside it, as long as it takes the arguments train_data, formula, and hyperparameters and returns a fitted model object:

# Create model function
#
# train_data : tibble with the training data
# formula : a formula object
# hyperparameters : a named list of hyparameters

svm_model_fn <- function(train_data, formula, hyperparameters){
  
  # Note that `formula` must be passed first
  # when calling svm(), otherwise it fails
  e1071::svm(
    formula = formula,
    data = train_data,
    kernel = "linear",
    type = "C-classification",
    probability = TRUE
  )
}

We also need a predict function. This will usually wrap the stats::predict() function. The point is to ensure that the predictions have the correct format. In this case, we want a single column with the probability of the positive class. Note, that you do not need to use the formula, hyperparameters, and train_data arguments within your function. These are there for the few cases, where they are needed.

# Create predict function
#
# test_data : tibble with the test data
# model : fitted model object
# formula : a formula object
# hyperparameters : a named list of hyparameters
# train_data : tibble with the training data

svm_predict_fn <- function(test_data, model, formula, hyperparameters, train_data){
  
  # Predict the test set with the model
  predictions <- stats::predict(
    object = model,
    newdata = test_data,
    allow.new.levels = TRUE,
    probability = TRUE
  )

  # Extract the probabilities
  # Usually the predict function will just 
  # output the probabilities directly
  probabilities <- dplyr::as_tibble(
    attr(predictions, "probabilities")
  )

  # Return second column
  # with probabilities of positive class
  probabilities[[2]]
}

With these functions defined, we can cross-validate the support-vector machine:

# Cross-validate svm_model_fn
CV6 <- cross_validate_fn(
  data = data,
  model_fn = svm_model_fn,
  predict_fn = svm_predict_fn,
  formulas = c("diagnosis ~ score", "diagnosis ~ age"),
  fold_cols = '.folds_1',
  type = 'binomial'
)
#> Will cross-validate 2 models. This requires fitting 8 model instances.

Naïve Bayes

Let’s try with a naïve Bayes classifier as well. First, we will define the model function:

# Create model function
#
# train_data : tibble with the training data
# formula : a formula object
# hyperparameters : a named list of hyparameters

nb_model_fn <- function(train_data, formula, hyperparameters){
  e1071::naiveBayes(
    formula = formula,
    data = train_data
  )
}

And the predict function:

# Create predict function
#
# test_data : tibble with the test data
# model : fitted model object
# formula : a formula object
# hyperparameters : a named list of hyparameters
# train_data : tibble with the training data

nb_predict_fn <- function(test_data, model, formula, hyperparameters, train_data){
  stats::predict(
    object = model,
    newdata = test_data,
    type = "raw",
    allow.new.levels = TRUE)[, 2]
}

With both functions specified, we are ready to cross-validate our naïve Bayes classifier:

CV7 <- cross_validate_fn(
  data = data,
  model_fn = nb_model_fn,
  predict_fn = nb_predict_fn,
  formulas = c("diagnosis ~ score", "diagnosis ~ age"),

Extracting the most challenging observations

If we wish to investigate why some observations are harder to predict than others, we should start by identifying the most challenging observations. This can be done with most_challenging().

Let’s first extract the predictions from some of the cross-validation results:

glm_predictions <- dplyr::bind_rows(CV5$Predictions, .id = "Model")
svm_predictions <- dplyr::bind_rows(CV6$Predictions, .id = "Model")
nb_predictions <- dplyr::bind_rows(CV7$Predictions, .id = "Model")
predictions <- dplyr::bind_rows(
  glm_predictions, 
  svm_predictions, 
  nb_predictions, 
  .id = "Architecture"
)
predictions[["Target"]] <- as.character(predictions[["Target"]])

predictions
#> # A tibble: 360 × 8
#>    Architecture Model `Fold Column`  Fold Observation Target Prediction
#>    <chr>        <chr> <chr>         <int>       <int> <chr>       <dbl>
#>  1 1            1     .folds_1          1          10 0           0.721
#>  2 1            1     .folds_1          1          11 0           0.422
#>  3 1            1     .folds_1          1          12 0           0.242
#>  4 1            1     .folds_1          1          28 1           0.884

#>  6 1            1     .folds_1          1          30 1           0.563
#>  7 1            1     .folds_1          2           4 0           0.831
#>  8 1            1     .folds_1          2           5 0           0.620
#>  9 1            1     .folds_1          2           6 0           0.202
#> 10 1            1     .folds_1          2          13 1           0.928
#> # ℹ 350 more rows
#> # ℹ 1 more variable: `Predicted Class` <chr>

Now, let’s find the overall most difficult to predict observations. most_challenging() calculates the Accuracy, MAE, and Cross-Entropy for each prediction. We can then extract the observations with the ~20% highest MAE scores. Note that most_challenging() works with grouped data frames as well.

challenging <- most_challenging(
  data = predictions,
  prediction_cols = "Prediction",
  type = "binomial",
  threshold = 0.20,
  threshold_is = "percentage"
)

challenging
#> # A tibble: 6 × 7
#>   Observation Correct Incorrect Accuracy   MAE `Cross Entropy`  `<=`
#>         <int>   <int>     <int>    <dbl> <dbl>           <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1          21       1        11   0.0833 0.820            2.10 0.615
#> 2           4       0        12   0      0.783            1.66 0.615
#> 3          10       0        12   0      0.774            1.57 0.615
#> 4          20       1        11   0.0833 0.742            1.50 0.615
#> 5           1       1        11   0.0833 0.733            1.39 0.615
#> 6           7       0        12   0      0.690            1.22 0.615

We can then extract the difficult observations from the dataset. First, we add an index to the dataset. Then, we perform a right-join, to only get the rows that are in the challenging data frame.

# Index with values 1:30
data[["Observation"]] <- seq_len(nrow(data))

# Add information to the challenging observations
challenging <- data %>% 
  # Remove fold columns for clarity
  dplyr::select(-c(.folds_1, .folds_2, .folds_3, .folds_4)) %>% 
  # Add the scores
  dplyr::right_join(challenging, by = "Observation")

challenging %>% kable()

Evaluating predictions

We can also evaluate predictions from a model trained outside cvms. This works with regression ('gaussian'), binary classification ('binomial'), and multiclass classification ('multinomial').

Gaussian evaluation

Extract the targets and predictions from the first cross-validation we performed and evaluate it with evaluate(). We group the data frame by the Fold column to evaluate each fold separately:

# Extract the predictions from the first cross-validation
predictions <- CV1$Predictions[[1]] 
predictions %>% head(6) %>% kable()
Fold Column Fold Observation Target Prediction
.folds 1 1 33 51.00000
.folds 1 2 53 51.00000

.folds 1 4 16 30.66667
.folds 1 5 32 30.66667
.folds 1 6 44 30.66667
# Evaluate the predictions per fold
predictions %>% 
  group_by(Fold) %>% 
  evaluate(
    target_col = "Target",
    prediction_cols = "Prediction",
    type = "gaussian"
  )

Binomial evaluation

We can do the same for the predictions from the second, binomial cross-validation:

# Extract the predictions from the second cross-validation
predictions <- CV2$Predictions[[1]] 
predictions %>% head(6) %>% kable()

# Evaluate the predictions per fold

Multinomial evaluation

We will use the multiclass_probability_tibble() helper to generate a data frame with predicted probabilities for three classes, along with the predicted class and the target class. Then, we will 1) evaluate the three probability columns against the targets (preferable format), and 2) evaluate the predicted classes against the targets:

# Create dataset for multinomial evaluation
multiclass_data <- multiclass_probability_tibble(
  num_classes = 3, # Here, number of predictors
  num_observations = 30,
  apply_softmax = TRUE,
  add_predicted_classes = TRUE,
  add_targets = TRUE)

Baseline evaluations

While it’s common to find the chance-level baseline analytically (in classification tasks), it’s often possible to get a better evaluation than that by chance. Hence, it is useful to check the range of our metrics when randomly guessing the probabilities.

Usually, we use baseline() on our test set at the start of our modeling process, so we know what level of performance we should beat.

Note: Where baseline() works with all three families (gaussian, binomial and multinomial), each family also has a wrapper function (e.g. baseline_gaussian()) that is easier to use. We use those here.

Start by partitioning the dataset:

# Set seed for reproducibility
set.seed(1)

# Partition the dataset 
partitions <- groupdata2::partition(
  participant.scores,
  p = 0.7,
  cat_col = 'diagnosis',
  id_col = 'participant',
  list_out = TRUE
)

train_set <- partitions[[1]]
test_set <- partitions[[2]]

Binomial baseline

Approach: n random sets of predictions are evaluated against the dependent variable in the test set. We also evaluate a set of all 0s and a set of all 1s.

Create the baseline evaluations:

# Perform binomial baseline evaluation
# Note: It's worth enabling parallelization (see ?baseline examples)
binomial_baseline <- baseline_binomial(
  test_data = test_set, 
  dependent_col = "diagnosis",
  n = 100
)

On average, we can expect an F1 score of approximately 0.481. The maximum F1 score achieved by randomly guessing was 0.833 though. That’s likely because of the small size of the test set, but it illustrates how such information could be useful in a real-life scenario.

The All_1 row shows us that we can achieve an F1 score of 0.667 by always predicting 1. Some model architectures, like neural networks, have a tendency to always predict the majority class. Such a model is quite useless of course, why it is good to be aware of the performance it could achieve. We could also check the confusion matrix for such a pattern.

We can plot the distribution of F1 scores from the random evaluations:

# First, remove the NAs from the F1 column
random_evaluations <- binomial_baseline$random_evaluations
random_evaluations <- random_evaluations[!is.na(random_evaluations$F1),]

# Create density plot for F1
plot_metric_density(baseline = random_evaluations, 
                    metric = "F1", xlim = c(0, 1))

Multinomial baseline

Approach: Creates one-vs-all (binomial) baseline evaluations for n sets of random predictions against the dependent variable, along with sets of all class x,y,z,... predictions.

Create the baseline evaluations:

multiclass_baseline <- baseline_multinomial(
  test_data = multiclass_data, 
  dependent_col = "Target",
  n = 100
)

Gaussian baseline

Approach: The baseline model (y ~ 1), where 1 is simply the intercept (i.e. mean of y), is fitted on n random subsets of the training set and evaluated on the test set. We also perform an evaluation of the model fitted on the entire training set.

We usually wish to establish whether our predictors add anything useful to our model. We should thus at least do better than a model without any predictors.

Create the baseline evaluations:

gaussian_baseline <- baseline_gaussian(
  test_data = test_set,
  train_data = train_set,
  dependent_col = "score",
  n = 100
)

The All_rows row tells us the performance when fitting the intercept model on the full training set. It is quite close to the mean of the random evaluations.

Plot the density plot for RMSE:

plot_metric_density(baseline = gaussian_baseline$random_evaluations,
                    metric = "RMSE")

In this instance, the All_rows row might have been enough, as the subsets mainly add higher RMSE scores.

Generate model formulas

Instead of manually typing all possible model formulas for a set of fixed effects (including the possible interactions), combine_predictors() can do it for you (with some constraints).

When including interactions, >200k formulas have been precomputed for up to 8 fixed effects, with a maximum interaction size of 3, and a maximum of 5 fixed effects per formula. It’s possible to further limit the generated formulas.

We can also append a random effects structure to the generated formulas.

combine_predictors(
  dependent = "y",
  fixed_effects = c("a", "b", "c"),
  random_effects = "(1|d)"
)
#>  [1] "y ~ a + (1|d)"                     "y ~ b + (1|d)"                    
#>  [3] "y ~ c + (1|d)"                     "y ~ a * b + (1|d)"                
#>  [5] "y ~ a * c + (1|d)"                 "y ~ a + b + (1|d)"                
#>  [7] "y ~ a + c + (1|d)"                 "y ~ b * c + (1|d)"                
#>  [9] "y ~ b + c + (1|d)"                 "y ~ a * b * c + (1|d)"            
#> [11] "y ~ a * b + c + (1|d)"             "y ~ a * c + b + (1|d)"            
#> [13] "y ~ a + b * c + (1|d)"             "y ~ a + b + c + (1|d)"            
#> [15] "y ~ a * b + a * c + (1|d)"         "y ~ a * b + b * c + (1|d)"        
#> [17] "y ~ a * c + b * c + (1|d)"         "y ~ a * b + a * c + b * c + (1|d)"

If two or more fixed effects should not be in the same formula, like an effect and its log-transformed version, we can provide them as sublists.

combine_predictors(
  dependent = "y",
  fixed_effects = list("a", list("b", "log_b")),
  random_effects = "(1|d)"
)
#> [1] "y ~ a + (1|d)"         "y ~ b + (1|d)"         "y ~ log_b + (1|d)"    
#> [4] "y ~ a * b + (1|d)"     "y ~ a * log_b + (1|d)" "y ~ a + b + (1|d)"    
#> [7] "y ~ a + log_b + (1|d)"
