Can you recommend a package in R that can be used to count precision, recall and F1-score for multi class classification tasks

Is there any package that you would recommend which can be used to calculate the precision, F1, recall for multi class classification task in R. I tried to use ROCR but it states that: 

ROCR currently supports only evaluation of binary classification tasks
Solution

  • I know that you were looking for a solution in R. That said, this is a link to a nice solution library in Python, using scikit-learn version 0.14. Python is very similar to R in a lot of respects (if you haven't used it before), and this could be a good place to start.

    Another place you might want to look, if you are focused on R, is the the PerfMeas package. As I quote, this "Package implements different performance measures for classification and ranking tasks. AUC, precision at a given recall, F-score for single and multiple classes are available."
