confusion matrix from rpart

Question

I can't for the life of me figure out how to compute a confusion matrix on rpart.

Here is what I have done:

set.seed(12345)
UBANK_rand <- UBank[order(runif(1000)), ]
UBank_train <- UBank_rand[1:900, ]
UBank_test  <- UBank_rand[901:1000, ]


dim(UBank_train)
dim(UBank_test)

#Build the formula for the Decision Tree
UB_tree <- Personal.Loan ~ Experience + Age+ Income +ZIP.Code + Family + CCAvg + Education

#Building the Decision Tree from Test Data
UB_rpart <- rpart(UB_tree, data=UBank_train)

Now, I would think I would do something like

table(predict(UB_rpart, UBank_test, UBank_Test$Default))

But that is not giving me a confusion matrix.

Answer 1

You didn't provide a reproducible example, so I'll create a synthetic dataset:

set.seed(144)
df = data.frame(outcome = as.factor(sample(c(0, 1), 100, replace=T)),
                x = rnorm(100))

The predict function for an rpart model with type="class" will return the predicted class for each observation.

library(rpart)
mod = rpart(outcome ~ x, data=df)
pred = predict(mod, type="class")
table(pred)
# pred
#  0  1 
# 51 49 

Lastly, you can build the confusion matrix by running table between the prediction and true outcome:

table(pred, df$outcome)
# pred  0  1
#    0 36 15
#    1 14 35
