dec_pos
is a frequency that describes the
number of individuals in the current population N
for which the decision is positive (i.e., called or predicted cases).
dec_pos
An object of class numeric
of length 1.
Key relationships:
to probabilities:
The frequency of dec_pos
individuals depends on the population size N
and
the decision's proportion of positive decisions ppod
and is split further into two subsets of
hi
by the positive predictive value PPV
and
fa
by the false detection rate FDR = 1 - PPV
.
Perspectives:
by condition:
The frequency dec_pos
is determined by the population size N
times
the proportion of positive decisions ppod
:
by decision:
a. The frequency hi
is determined by dec_pos
times the positive predictive value PPV
(aka. precision
):
b. The frequency fa
is determined by dec_pos
times the false detection rate FDR = (1 - PPV)
:
to other frequencies:
In a population of size N
the following relationships hold:
Current frequency information is computed by
comp_freq
and contained in a list
freq
.
Consult Wikipedia: Confusion matrix for additional information.
is_freq

freq
contains current frequency information;
comp_freq
computes current frequency information;
prob
contains current probability information;
comp_prob
computes current probability information.
