- 23. The trainControl Function method: The resampling method number and repeats: number controls with the number of folds in K-fold cross-validation or number of resampling iterations for bootstrapping and leave-group-out cross-validation. verboseIter: A logical for printing a training log. returnData: A logical for saving the data into a slot called trainingData. classProbs: a logical value determining whether class probabilities should be computed for held- out samples during resample. summaryFunction: a function to compute alternate performance summaries. selectionFunction: a function to choose the optimal tuning parameters. returnResamp: a character string containing one of the following values: "all", "final" or "none". This specifies how much of the resampled performance measures to save. · · · · · · · · /

- 29. Exploring and Comparing Resampling Distributions Given these models, can we make statistical statements about their performance differences? To do this, we first collect the resampling results using resamples. We can compute the differences, then use a simple t-test to evaluate the null hypothesis that there is no difference between models. resamps<-resamples(list(tree=treemodel, nnet=nnetmodel)) bwplot(resamps) densityplot(resamps,metric='ROC') difValues<-diff(resamps) summary(difValues) /
