Binarizing Continuous Predictions and Resolving Confusion Matrix Errors in Binary Classification Problems
Based on the provided code and error messages, it appears that there are a few issues at play here: Prediction values: The prediction variable contains continuous values between -4.53264842453133 and -3.74479277338508, which is not suitable for binary classification problems where we expect two classes (yes/no). Confusion Matrix Error: The error message from the Confusion Matrix function indicates that there are more levels in prediction than in the reference variable riskScore$death. This suggests that the predictions need to be binarized or discretized into a suitable range for binary classification.
