Formulas used in evaluation_
| Formula | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1 | The TPR is the proportion of positive instances that are correctly classified by the model. Where TP is the number of true positive instances, and FN is the number of false negative instances. The larger the value the better |
| 2 | FPR indicates the probability that a positive decision is wrong. The smaller the value, the better the performance of the model |
| 3 | Precision is the ratio of the samples correctly predicted by the model to all the samples positively predicted |
| 4 | The F-measure is defined as the weighted harmonic mean of precision and recall |
| 5 | The accuracy of correct classification ranges between 0.5 and 1, where higher values indicate a better classifier. Accuracy values between 0.7 and 1 are generally considered acceptable |
