Classification Metrics

1. Accuracy:
o Low: The model is often incorrect in its predictions. This might be acceptable in
cases with highly imbalanced classes or where some errors are more costly than
others.
o High: The model is mostly correct in its predictions. This is generally good, but
check if it's due to class imbalance.
o Average: The model performs moderately well, making both correct and
incorrect predictions. Evaluate other metrics to get a fuller picture.
2. Precision:
o Low: Many of the positive predictions are actually false positives. This might be
problematic in scenarios where false positives are costly (e.g., spam detection).
o High: Most positive predictions are true positives, indicating the model rarely
misclassifies negatives as positives.
o Average: The model has a balanced rate of true positives and false positives.
Consider the trade-off with recall.
3. Recall (Sensitivity or True Positive Rate):
o Low: The model misses many actual positive cases (high false negative rate).
This is concerning in cases where missing a positive case is costly (e.g., disease
detection).
o High: The model successfully identifies most actual positive cases, meaning few
false negatives.
o Average: The model identifies some positive cases but misses others. Evaluate if
this balance is acceptable for your use case.
4. F1-Score:
o Low: Both precision and recall are low. The model struggles with identifying
positive cases accurately and completely.
o High: Both precision and recall are high. The model accurately and
comprehensively identifies positive cases.
o Average: The model has a balance of precision and recall. Consider if this
balance meets your application needs.
5. ROC-AUC (Receiver Operating Characteristic - Area Under Curve):
o Low: The model performs poorly in distinguishing between the classes. It might
be no better than random guessing.
o High: The model is very good at distinguishing between the classes.
o Average: The model performs moderately well in distinguishing between the
classes.
6. Confusion Matrix:
o Low: High values in off-diagonal elements indicate a poor model with many
misclassifications.
o High: High values in the diagonal elements indicate a good model with correct
classifications.
o Average: A mix of high and low values, suggesting moderate performance.
Evaluate specific error types.
