用于不平衡数据的 r caret 包中的 prSummary

Question

我有一个不平衡的数据，我想做分层交叉验证并使用精确召回率auc作为我的评估指标。

我在带分层索引的r包caret中使用prSummary，在计算性能时遇到错误。

以下是可以重现的示例。我发现计算p-r auc的sample只有十个，因为不平衡，只有一个class所以无法计算p-r auc。（我发现只有十个样本来计算 p-r auc 的原因是因为我修改了 prSummary 以强制此函数打印出数据）

library(randomForest)
library(mlbench)
library(caret)

# Load Dataset
data(Sonar)
dataset <- Sonar
x <- dataset[,1:60]
y <- dataset[,61]
# make this data very imbalance
y[4:length(y)] <- "M"
y <- as.factor(y)
dataset$Class <- y

# create index and indexOut 
seed <- 1
set.seed(seed)
folds <- 2
idxAll <- 1:nrow(x)
cvIndex <- createFolds(factor(y), folds, returnTrain = T)
cvIndexOut <- lapply(1:length(cvIndex), function(i){
    idxAll[-cvIndex[[i]]]
})
names(cvIndexOut) <- names(cvIndex)

# set the index, indexOut and prSummaryCorrect
control <- trainControl(index = cvIndex, indexOut = cvIndexOut, 
                            method="cv", summaryFunction = prSummary, classProbs = T)
metric <- "AUC"
set.seed(seed)
mtry <- sqrt(ncol(x))
tunegrid <- expand.grid(.mtry=mtry)
rf_default <- train(Class~., data=dataset, method="rf", metric=metric, tuneGrid=tunegrid, trControl=control)

错误信息如下：

Error in ROCR::prediction(y_pred, y_true) : 
Number of classes is not equal to 2.
ROCR currently supports only evaluation of binary classification tasks.

我想我发现了奇怪的东西...

即使我指定了交叉验证索引，汇总函数（无论是 prSummary 还是其他汇总函数）仍然会随机（我不确定）select 十个样本来计算性能。

我的做法是用tryCatch定义一个summary函数来避免这个错误的发生。

prSummaryCorrect <- function (data, lev = NULL, model = NULL) {
  print(data)
  print(dim(data))
  library(MLmetrics)
  library(PRROC)
  if (length(levels(data$obs)) != 2) 
    stop(levels(data$obs))
  if (length(levels(data$obs)) > 2) 
    stop(paste("Your outcome has", length(levels(data$obs)), 
               "levels. The prSummary() function isn't appropriate."))
  if (!all(levels(data[, "pred"]) == levels(data[, "obs"]))) 
    stop("levels of observed and predicted data do not match")

  res <- tryCatch({
    auc <- MLmetrics::PRAUC(y_pred = data[, lev[2]], y_true = ifelse(data$obs == lev[2], 1, 0))
  }, warning = function(war) {
    print(war)
    auc <- NA
  }, error = function(e){
    print(dim(data))
    auc <- NA
  }, finally = {
    print("finally")
    auc <- NA
  })

  c(AUC = res,
    Precision = precision.default(data = data$pred, reference = data$obs, relevant = lev[2]), 
    Recall = recall.default(data = data$pred, reference = data$obs, relevant = lev[2]), 
    F = F_meas.default(data = data$pred, reference = data$obs, relevant = lev[2]))
}
