What’s Confusion Matrix
Confusion Matrix, is a matrix and… we all agree.
Confusion Matrix can answer to the questions: - How is going the prediction? - Which one I constantly missed?
Confusion Matrix is composed by following components:
What’s TP? - True Positive: it’s what the model have predicted right. On my current work I’m trying to predict the weight of a box (about 11
classes). The box weight 750
? Yes, it falls into TP recipient. If not, it falls into FP.
What’s FP? - False Positive: it’s what the model have predicted wrong. The model thought the box weight 750
KG but it isn’t. Wrong prediction.
What’s TN: - True Negative: the model understood that box weight isn’t 750
KG. It falls into TN recipient. If not, it falls into FN.
What’s FN: - False Negative: the model predicted not 750
KG and was wrong. It falls into FN recipient. it’s the opposite behavior of FP. Someone would say: invert. always invert
When Confusion Matrix
This kind of matrix is applicable only on Classification Problem.
Why Confusion Matrix
On top of Confusion Matrix have been developer lots of metrics. : - Accuracy - Precision - Recall - F-Score - AUC ROC
