Confusion matrix

 The confusion matrix is a 2X2 table that contains 4 outputs provided by the   binary classifier . Various measures, such as error-rate, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision and recall are derived from it.   Confusion Matrix     A data set used for performance evaluation is called a test data set . It should contain the correct labels and predicted labels.     The predicted labels will exactly the same if the performance of a binary classifier is perfect.   The predicted labels usually match with part of the observed labels in real-world scenarios.   Basic measures derived from the confusion matrix Error Rate = (FP+FN)/(P+N) Accuracy = (TP+TN)/(P+N) Sensitivity(Recall or True positive rate) = TP/P Specificity(True negative rate) = TN/N Precision(Positive predicted value) = TP/(TP+FP) F-Score(Harmonic mean of precision and recall) = (1+b)(PREC.REC)/(b²PREC+REC) where b is commonly 0.5, 1, 2. Basic measures derived from the confusion matrix Error Rate = (FP+FN)/(P+N) Accuracy =
