Classification_Accuracy_Basic

Classification accuracy measures the proportion of correct predictions made by a classification model, calculated as the number of correct predictions divided by the total predictions. While it is simple to interpret and useful for balanced datasets, it can be misleading for imbalanced datasets, where additional metrics like Precision, Recall, and F1 Score are recommended for a comprehensive evaluation. Applications of classification accuracy include image and text classification, as well as medical diagnosis.

Classification Accuracy in

Machine Learning
A Peer-to-Peer Overview
Introduction to Classification
Accuracy
• Classification accuracy is a metric used to
evaluate the performance of a classification
model by calculating the proportion of correct
predictions to the total number of predictions.
Formula for Classification Accuracy
• Accuracy = (Number of Correct Predictions) /
(Total Number of Predictions)
• Example: If a model correctly classifies 90 out
of 100 samples, the accuracy is 90%.
How Accuracy is Calculated
• Accuracy is calculated by comparing predicted
labels against actual labels in a dataset. It
gives a percentage of how many predictions
were correct out of the total number of
predictions.
Advantages of Classification
Accuracy
• - Simple to calculate and interpret.
• - Suitable when the dataset is balanced.
Disadvantages of Classification
Accuracy
• - Misleading for imbalanced datasets, as it
doesn’t consider class distribution.
• - Example: In a dataset where 90% of
examples are 'Class A' and 10% are 'Class B,' a
model always predicting 'Class A' would have
90% accuracy but would be useless.
Other Metrics
• Other metrics like Precision, Recall, and F1
Score provide more information for
imbalanced datasets.
• These metrics help in understanding the
performance of a model more
comprehensively.
Applications of Classification
Accuracy
• Classification accuracy is often used in image
classification, text classification, and medical
diagnosis.
• It is a common metric for evaluating models in
these fields.
Conclusion
• Accuracy is a useful metric for balanced
datasets but can be misleading in the case of
imbalanced datasets.
• Using additional metrics such as Precision,
Recall, and F1 Score provides a more complete
evaluation of a model's performance.
