Thanks for your quickly answer. I feel embarrassed but I didn't understand it.

1 - diag(table) / sum(table)        Which diagonal? Both of them?

Could you explain it to me with a practical example?

Whoops, this meant to be

1 - sum(diag(table)) / sum(table)

i.e. 1 - (138+2)/(138+2+9+1)

Hello,
I would like to know how to obtain the misclassification error when performing a boosting analisis with ADABAG package?
With:
prop.table(Tesis.boostcv$confusion)

I obtain the confusion matrix, but not the overall missclassification error.

Well, the misclassification error is

  1 - diag(table) / sum(table)
