wconf (Q5979038)

Allows users to create weighted confusion matrices and accuracy metrics that help with the model selection process for classification problems, where distance from the correct category is important. The package includes several weighting schemes which can be parameterized, as well as custom configuration options. Furthermore, users can decide whether they wish to positively or negatively affect the accuracy score as a result of applying weights to the confusion matrix. 'wconf' integrates well with the 'caret' package, but it can also work standalone when provided data in matrix form. References: Kuhn, M.
