In this section, we will explore various metrics used to evaluate the performance of data models. Understanding these metrics is crucial for assessing how well your model is performing and identifying areas for improvement.
Key Concepts
- Accuracy: The ratio of correctly predicted observations to the total observations.
- Precision: The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positives.
- Recall (Sensitivity): The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to all observations in the actual class.
- F1 Score: The weighted average of Precision and Recall.
- Confusion Matrix: A table used to describe the performance of a classification model.
- ROC Curve and AUC: Graphical representation of a model's diagnostic ability.
Accuracy
Accuracy is a simple and intuitive metric but can be misleading in cases of imbalanced datasets.
Formula: \[ \text{Accuracy} = \frac{\text{Number of Correct Predictions}}{\text{Total Number of Predictions}} \]
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# True labels
y_true = [1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]
# Predicted labels
y_pred = [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]
# Calculate accuracy
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
print(f"Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")Precision
Precision is useful when the cost of false positives is high.
Formula: \[ \text{Precision} = \frac{\text{True Positives}}{\text{True Positives + False Positives}} \]
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import precision_score
# Calculate precision
precision = precision_score(y_true, y_pred)
print(f"Precision: {precision:.2f}")Recall (Sensitivity)
Recall is useful when the cost of false negatives is high.
Formula: \[ \text{Recall} = \frac{\text{True Positives}}{\text{True Positives + False Negatives}} \]
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import recall_score
# Calculate recall
recall = recall_score(y_true, y_pred)
print(f"Recall: {recall:.2f}")F1 Score
The F1 Score is the harmonic mean of Precision and Recall, providing a balance between the two.
Formula: \[ \text{F1 Score} = 2 \times \frac{\text{Precision} \times \text{Recall}}{\text{Precision + Recall}} \]
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import f1_score
# Calculate F1 Score
f1 = f1_score(y_true, y_pred)
print(f"F1 Score: {f1:.2f}")Confusion Matrix
A confusion matrix provides a detailed breakdown of correct and incorrect classifications.
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
# Calculate confusion matrix
conf_matrix = confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred)
print("Confusion Matrix:")
print(conf_matrix)Output:
ROC Curve and AUC
The ROC Curve plots the True Positive Rate (Recall) against the False Positive Rate. The AUC (Area Under the Curve) provides a single metric to summarize the performance.
Example:
from sklearn.metrics import roc_curve, roc_auc_score
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Calculate ROC Curve
fpr, tpr, thresholds = roc_curve(y_true, y_pred)
# Calculate AUC
auc = roc_auc_score(y_true, y_pred)
print(f"AUC: {auc:.2f}")
# Plot ROC Curve
plt.figure()
plt.plot(fpr, tpr, label=f'ROC curve (area = {auc:.2f})')
plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'k--')
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.title('ROC Curve')
plt.legend(loc="lower right")
plt.show()Practical Exercise
Exercise:
Given the following true labels and predicted labels, calculate the Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 Score, Confusion Matrix, and plot the ROC Curve.
Solution:
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score, f1_score, confusion_matrix, roc_curve, roc_auc_score
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# True labels
y_true = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
# Predicted labels
y_pred = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0]
# Calculate metrics
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
precision = precision_score(y_true, y_pred)
recall = recall_score(y_true, y_pred)
f1 = f1_score(y_true, y_pred)
conf_matrix = confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred)
fpr, tpr, thresholds = roc_curve(y_true, y_pred)
auc = roc_auc_score(y_true, y_pred)
# Print metrics
print(f"Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")
print(f"Precision: {precision:.2f}")
print(f"Recall: {recall:.2f}")
print(f"F1 Score: {f1:.2f}")
print("Confusion Matrix:")
print(conf_matrix)
# Plot ROC Curve
plt.figure()
plt.plot(fpr, tpr, label=f'ROC curve (area = {auc:.2f})')
plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'k--')
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.title('ROC Curve')
