In many binary classification applications, such as disease diagnosis and spam detection, practitioners commonly face the need to limit type I error (i.e., the conditional probability of misclassifying a class 0 observation as class 1) so that it remains below a desired threshold. To address this need, the Neyman-Pearson (NP) classification paradigm is a natural choice; it minimizes type II error (i.e., the conditional probability of misclassifying a class 1 observation as class 0) while enforcing an upper bound, alpha, on the type I error. Although the NP paradigm has a century-long history in hypothesis testing, it has not been well recognized and implemented in classification schemes. Common practices that directly limit the empirical type I error to no more than alpha do not satisfy the type I error control objective because the resulting classifiers are still likely to have type I errors much larger than alpha. As a result, the NP paradigm has not been properly implemented for many classification scenarios in practice. In this work, we develop the first umbrella algorithm that implements the NP paradigm for all scoring-type classification methods, including popular methods such as logistic regression, support vector machines and random forests. Powered by this umbrella algorithm, we propose a novel graphical tool for NP classification methods: NP receiver operating characteristic (NP-ROC) bands, motivated by the popular receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. NP-ROC bands will help choose in a data adaptive way and compare different NP classifiers.

Do algebraic operations on neural networks. We seek here to implement in R, operations on neural networks and their resulting approximations. Our operations derive their descriptions mainly from Rafi S., Padgett, J.L., and Nakarmi, U. (2024), "Towards an Algebraic Framework For Approximating Functions Using Neural Network Polynomials", <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.01058>, Grohs P., Hornung, F., Jentzen, A. et al. (2023), "Space-time error estimates for deep neural network approximations for differential equations", <doi:10.1007/s10444-022-09970-2>, Jentzen A., Kuckuck B., von Wurstemberger, P. (2023), "Mathematical Introduction to Deep Learning Methods, Implementations, and Theory" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.20360>. Our implementation is meant mainly as a pedagogical tool, and proof of concept. Faster implementations with deeper vectorizations may be made in future versions.

Analysis functions to quantify inputs importance in neural network models. Functions are available for calculating and plotting the inputs importance and obtaining the activation function of each neuron layer and its derivatives. The importance of a given input is defined as the distribution of the derivatives of the output with respect to that input in each training data point <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i07>.
