Simplifying Confusion Matrices with do.call() in R: A More Efficient Approach
The code you provided can be simplified using the do.call() function. Here’s an example: dats <- split(dat[, -1], dat$Group) confusion_matrix_list <- do.call(c, lapply(dats, function(x) { actual <- x[, 1] confusionMatrix(actual, unlist(x[, 2:4])) })) This will produce a list where each element is the corresponding confusion matrix for Preds1, Preds2, and Preds3 for group 1. The same structure can be applied to groups 2 and 3. confusion_matrix_list <- do.call(c, lapply(dats, function(x) { actual <- x[, 1] confusionMatrix(actual, unlist(x[, 2:4])) })) Alternatively, you can use lapply() alone to achieve the same result:
