## Spark ML - Evaluators

### Description

A set of functions to calculate performance metrics for prediction models. Also see the Spark ML Documentation https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.evaluation.package

### Usage

    ml_binary_classification_evaluator(x, label_col = "label",
      raw_prediction_col = "rawPrediction", metric_name = "areaUnderROC",
      uid = random_string("binary_classification_evaluator_"), ...)

    ml_binary_classification_eval(x, label_col = "label",
      prediction_col = "prediction", metric_name = "areaUnderROC")

    ml_multiclass_classification_evaluator(x, label_col = "label",
      prediction_col = "prediction", metric_name = "f1",
      uid = random_string("multiclass_classification_evaluator_"), ...)

    ml_classification_eval(x, label_col = "label",
      prediction_col = "prediction", metric_name = "f1")

    ml_regression_evaluator(x, label_col = "label",
      prediction_col = "prediction", metric_name = "rmse",
      uid = random_string("regression_evaluator_"), ...)

### Arguments

`x` | A `spark_connection` object or a `tbl_spark` containing label and prediction columns. The latter should be the output of `sdf_predict`.
`label_col` | Name of column string specifying which column contains the true labels or values.
`raw_prediction_col` | Raw prediction (a.k.a. confidence) column name.
`metric_name` | The performance metric. See details.
`uid` | A character string used to uniquely identify the ML estimator.
`...` | Optional arguments; currently unused.
`prediction_col` | Name of the column that contains the predicted label or value NOT the scored probability. Column should be of type `Double`.

### Details

The following metrics are supported

- Binary Classification: `areaUnderROC` (default) or `areaUnderPR` (not available in Spark 2.X.)

- Multiclass Classification: `f1` (default), `precision`, `recall`, `weightedPrecision`, `weightedRecall` or `accuracy`; for Spark 2.X: `f1` (default), `weightedPrecision`, `weightedRecall` or `accuracy`.

- Regression: `rmse` (root mean squared error, default), `mse` (mean squared error), `r2`, or `mae` (mean absolute error.)

`ml_binary_classification_eval()` is an alias for `ml_binary_classification_evaluator()` for backwards compatibility.

`ml_classification_eval()` is an alias for `ml_multiclass_classification_evaluator()` for backwards compatibility.

### Value
