Significance testing correlations If only y1 is provided a t-test is computed, between the absolute error from yhat1-y1 and yhat2-y1.

Source: R/2_4_1_textPredictTextTrained.R
textPredictTest.Rd

If y2 is provided a bootstrapped procedure is used to compare the correlations between y1 and yhat1 versus y2 and yhat2. This is achieved by creating two distributions of correlations using bootstrapping; and then finally compute the distributions overlap.

Usage

textPredictTest(
  y1,
  y2,
  yhat1,
  yhat2,
  method = "t-test",
  statistic = "correlation",
  paired = TRUE,
  event_level = "first",
  bootstraps_times = 1000,
  seed = 6134,
  ...
)

Arguments

y1

The observed scores (i.e., what was used to predict when training a model).

y2

The second observed scores (default = NULL; i.e., for when comparing models that are predicting different outcomes. In this case a bootstrap procedure is used to create two distributions of correlations that are compared (see description above).

yhat1

The predicted scores from model 1.

yhat2

The predicted scores from model 2 that will be compared with model 1.

method

Set "t-test" if comparing predictions from models that predict the SAME outcome. Set "bootstrap" if comparing predictions from models that predict DIFFERENT outcomes or comparison from logistic regression computing AUC distributions.

statistic

Character ("correlation", "auc") describing statistic to be compared in bootstrapping.

paired

Paired test or not in stats::t.test (default TRUE).

event_level

Character "first" or "second" for computing the auc in the bootstrap.

bootstraps_times

Number of bootstraps (when providing y2).

seed

Set seed.

...

Settings from stats::t.test or overlapping::overlap (e.g., plot = TRUE).

Value

Comparison of correlations either a t-test or the overlap of a bootstrapped procedure (see $OV).
