Enhance error metrics of binary classification
Encog already supports a parameter search for SVM utilizing a simple error metric:
if( actual==ideal ) correct++; // EncogUtility.calculateClassificationError()
However, there is a number of other evaluation functions (like F1-score or BAC), each of which is useful in a different scenario - see: http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/eval/index.html
This enhancement would be useful epsecially for cross validation - after regularization is implemented (issue #28).
