Confusion Matrix

The section explains the importance and components of a Confusion Matrix in evaluating classification models in AI and Machine Learning.

What Is A Confusion Matrix?

A confusion matrix is a tool used to evaluate the performance of a classification algorithm by comparing predicted results with actual outcomes.

Structure Of A Confusion Matrix

The structure of a confusion matrix provides a clear visualization of a model's performance in predicting both positive and negative classes.

Key Metrics Derived From A Confusion Matrix

This section details crucial performance metrics derived from a confusion matrix, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.

Accuracy

Accuracy is a key performance metric derived from the confusion matrix that indicates how often a classification model makes correct predictions.

Precision

Precision is a metric that measures the accuracy of positive predictions made by a model.

Recall (Sensitivity Or True Positive Rate)

This section defines Recall (or Sensitivity) as a crucial performance metric that indicates the proportion of actual positive cases that were correctly identified by a classification model.

F1 Score

The F1 Score is a crucial metric that balances precision and recall in classification models, particularly useful in scenarios with class imbalance.

Example With Real Data
