The performance of any binary classifier that provides a probabilistic output (rather than a binary value) can be visualized by splitting the target validation population into quantiles of a fixed count (usually 10, that is, deciles) and comparing the empirical incidence of the dependent variable to the probabilistic response outputted by the classifier. This is meant to represent a visualization of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test

The validationplot package makes this endeavour straightforward, especially in conjunction with the tundra package.

This package is not yet available from CRAN (as of October 17, 2015). To install the latest development builds directly from GitHub, run this instead:

if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("avantcredit/make_validation_plot")
library(validationplot)
