[R] ROCR package finding maximum accuracy and optimal cutoff point

[Saeed Abu Nimeh]

If we use the ROCR package to find the accuracy of a classifier
pred <- prediction(svm.pred, testset[,2])
perf.acc <- performance(pred,"acc")

Do we find the maximum accuracy as follows (is there a simplier way?):
> max(perf.acc at x.values[[1]])

Then to find the cutoff point that maximizes the accuracy do we do the
following (is there a simpler way):
> cutoff.list <- unlist(perf.acc at x.values[[1]])
> cutoff.list[which.max(perf.acc at y.values[[1]])]

If the above is correct how is it possible to find the average false
positive and negative rates  from the following
perf.fpr <- performance(pred, "fpr")
perf.fnr <- performance(pred, "fnr")

The dataset that consists of two columns; score and a binary response,
similar to this:
2.5, 0
-1, 0
2, 1
6.3, 1
4.1, 0
3.3, 1


Thanks,
Saeed
