For Bayesian model evaluation, the **bayesrules** package has three functions `prediction_summary()`,
`classification_summary()` and `naive_classification_summary()` as well as their cross-validation counterparts `prediction_summary_cv()`, `classification_summary_cv()`, and `naive_classification_summary_cv()` respectively.

## Prediction Summary
Given a set of observed data including a quantitative response variable y and an rstanreg model of y, `prediction_summary()` returns 4 measures of the posterior prediction quality.
1. **Median absolute prediction error (mae)** measures the typical difference between the observed y values and their posterior predictive medians (stable = TRUE) or means (stable = FALSE).
2. **Scaled mae (mae_scaled)** measures the typical number of absolute deviations (stable = TRUE) or standard deviations (stable = FALSE) that observed y values fall from their predictive medians (stable = TRUE) or means (stable = FALSE).
3. and 4. **within_50** and **within_90** report the proportion of observed y values that fall within their posterior prediction intervals, the probability levels of which are set by the user.
Although 50% and 90% are the defaults for the posterior prediction intervals, these probability levels can be changed with `prob_inner` and `prob_outer` arguments.
The example below shows the 60% and 80% posterior prediction intervals.
```{r comment =""}
# Data generation
example_data <- data.frame(x = sample(1:100, 20))
example_data$y <- example_data$x*3 + rnorm(20, 0, 5)
# rstanreg model
example_model <- rstanarm::stan_glm(y ~ x, data = example_data, refresh = FALSE)
# Prediction Summary
prediction_summary(example_model, example_data,
prob_inner = 0.6, prob_outer = 0.80,
stable = TRUE)
```
Similarly, `prediction_summary_cv()` returns the 4 cross-validated measures of a model's posterior prediction quality for each fold as well as a pooled result.
The `k` argument represents the number of folds to use for cross-validation.
```{r comment =""}
prediction_summary_cv(model = example_model, data = example_data,
k = 2, prob_inner = 0.6, prob_outer = 0.80)
```
## Classification Summary
Given a set of observed data including a binary response variable y and an rstanreg model of y, the `classification_summary()` function returns summaries of the model's posterior classification quality. These summaries include a **confusion matrix** as well as estimates of the model's **sensitivity**, **specificity**, and **overall accuracy**.
The `cutoff` argument represents the probability cutoff to classify a new case as positive.
```{r comment =""}
# Data generation
x <- rnorm(20)
z <- 3*x
prob <- 1/(1+exp(-z))
y <- rbinom(20, 1, prob)
example_data <- data.frame(x = x, y = y)
# rstanreg model
example_model <- rstanarm::stan_glm(y ~ x, data = example_data,
family = binomial, refresh = FALSE)
# Prediction Summary
classification_summary(model = example_model, data = example_data, cutoff = 0.5)
```
The `classification_summary_cv()` returns the same measures but for cross-validated estimates.
The `k` argument represents the number of folds to use for cross-validation.
```{r comment =""}
classification_summary_cv(model = example_model, data = example_data,
k = 2, cutoff = 0.5)
```
## Naive Classification Summary
Given a set of observed data including a categorical response variable y and a naiveBayes model of y, the `naive_classification_summary()` function returns summaries of the model's posterior classification quality. These summaries include a **confusion matrix** as well as an estimate of the model's overall **accuracy**.
```{r comment=""}
# Data
data(penguins_bayes, package = "bayesrules")
# naiveBayes model
example_model <- e1071::naiveBayes(species ~ bill_length_mm, data = penguins_bayes)
# Naive Classification Summary
naive_classification_summary(model = example_model, data = penguins_bayes,
y = "species")
```
Similarly `naive_classification_summary_cv()` returns the cross validated confusion matrix.
The `k` argument represents the number of folds to use for cross-validation.
```{r comment=""}
naive_classification_summary_cv(model = example_model, data = penguins_bayes,
y = "species", k = 2)
```
